A 26 year old construction worker fell through the roof of the custom motorcycle shop of Paul Teutul Jr., a member of the family who starred on the cable television series “American Chopper.”
The construction worker was not an employee of Paul Teutul Jr. Police Lt. Alex Landolina III stated that the "victim worked for a contractor hired by the building’s landlord to repair the roof." “What happened was they were up there, working on the roof, working on repairs,” he said. “They had made some initial cuts on the roof. During the time they were making the cuts, it appears the victim stepped back into the open and fell 40 feet to his death.”
Neither Teutul nor other cast members were at the scene during the accident. Teutul released the following statement, "This was a tragic accident and, although I've never met this man, my deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends."
