A Florida roofer is dead after a workplace tragedy in which he was struck by lightning.
Edvin Cinto was fatally struck on a roofing site in the community of Deltona, northeast of Orlando, on Monday, according to WKMG-TV.
The 24-year-old man was found with a sock melted into his foot and his hair burned, according to WOFL-TV.
Witnesses said they observed Cinto appearing stunned before he fell through a hole in the incomplete roof.
