NY Man ID'd In Fatal Accident At SoNo Collection: Update

NORWALK, CT — The construction worker who was killed early Tuesday when he fell "from an elevated height" at The SoNo Collection mall has been identified, according to Norwalk police.

Lorgio Jimenez-Suarez, 52, of Astoria, NY, died at Norwalk Hospital following the fall, which occurred at about 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
