NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Police say a self-employed electrician has fallen from the roof of six-story building on Tennessee State University and died.

A statement from Nashville police says it appears that 55-year-old Richard Bray accidentally stumbled and fell backward Monday while doing work on top of Mary Wilson Hall. The statement says other workers were about 50 feet away and heard a yell.

Police say Bray was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died on arrival.



Tennessee State said it is offering counseling services to individuals who need help coping with the death.
