Construction Worker Dies After Fall at Further Lane House

Update, 3:18 p.m.: East Hampton Village police released the name of the construction worker who died Tuesday morning. He was Vitor Nobre. Mr. Nobre, 55, of Ronkonkoma, died at Southampton Hospital from his injuries. 

Original, 11:26 a.m.: A construction worker died Tuesday morning following a fall of about 12 feet at an East Hampton Village property that made headlines two years ago for its record $147 million sale. 

East Hampton Village Police Chief Gerard Larsen said the 55-year-old mason from Ronkonkoma lost his footing while working at 62 Further Lane at 8:43 a.m. The man fell about 12 feet onto a concrete floor, the chief said. 

The East Hampton Village Ambulance Association responded and called for the Suffolk County medevac to transport the man to Stony Brook University Hospital, the nearest level-one trauma center. However, due to the weather, the helicopter was unable to fly. He was taken by ambulance to Southampton Hospital, which recently became a level-three trauma center, where he was later pronounced dead. His name is being withheld until his family has been notified. 

Village police detectives are investigating. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Village Building Department were also called in to investigate. 

The property is owned by Barry Rosenstein, a hedge fund manager, who bought the three-parcel ocean-view spread in 2014.
