According to a report from The Enterprise, the unidentified 36-year-old worker was atop a scissor lift the morning of Dec. 22 helping to dismantle a concrete block wall from above a garage door when a chunk of the wall collapsed on top of him.

A report from NECN.com says the portion of wall weighed 600 pounds.
