A man died yesterday after falling into a 25-foot deep pit in Coral Gardens St James.
The man has been identified as Shane Lee, a gardener from the parish.
It’s reported that Mr Lee was doing landscaping duties in a yard when he stepped onto a manhole bearing a wooden cover and fell into the pit.
Acting-public relations officer at the Jamaica Fire Brigade, Kerry-Gayl Forbes, says a fire response team responded after receiving a call from residents of the community.
Mr Forbes says Mr Lee’s body was found standing upright at the bottom of the pit.
