Update, 5:45 p.m.: The man who died in a fall near Ames Lake on Friday afternoon was one of two workers patching a roof, Sgt. Katie Larson of the King County Sheriff's Department said.
“It would appear at this point as though they slipped off and fell,” Larson said.
The incident took place at a private residence in the 3100 block of West Ames Lake Drive. Larson said both workers fell about 50 feet on to a concrete walkway.
One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other man suffered broken bones, Larson said. His injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.
The ages and hometowns of the men were not immediately available.
