74-year-old James Lerner was working on the tower on Olson Farm Lane a little before 1 p.m. on Wednesday, according to the Courier-Gazette.
Lerner’s friend who was at the scene says he was wearing a harness, had carabiner clips and appeared to be attached to the tower before he fell.
Lerner was pronounced dead at the scene.
