SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – One of the five employees of a Roanoke-based company electrocuted while installing a gutter last week has died.
The Coroner in Sangamon County — Jim Allmon — says Seth Durand, 22, was pronounced dead Tuesday morning at Springfield’s Memorial Hospital.
The incident happened as a crew from Double L Seamless Gutters was working on a home in rural Streator last Tuesday. Part of the gutter, authorities believe, struck a power line, causing all the workers to be shocked, and some to fall off ladders.
At least one was taken to a Peoria hospital.
Allmon says an autopsy on Durand will be conducted tomorrow Wednesday.
