Update #3: Apparently this kid was a thrill seeker and climbed because he enjoyed it and to relieve stress. What a shame that his family now has to deal with this. The worst part is that he could have gotten trained and paid to do this, if only he had known. This is sad, but let’s face it, he should not have been on the tower in the first place.

Update #2: Friends and family are raising money for Tyler Bresnahan, the 20-year-old that fell from the tower. For more go here. They are looking to raise money to bury the boy. According to the news story he had climbed that tower several times before. The boy had a rough time with losing his home to fire. The fundraiser information can be found here.

Update: According to Wireless Estimator, in the link below, the death in Exeter was not industry related. Apparently no one knew why the young man was at the site or why he climbed the tower. He was identified as Tyler Bresnahan of Algonquin Tr. The assumption is that he climbed to the top of the tower and fell, for no good reason.

I found a story where a man died from a fall in Exeter. I don’t have any details yet. I only know that Rhode Island police are investigating. He is a 20-year-old man. 

Note from ABC6 News, “Officials say a call came in around 2:43 p.m. saying that the victim had fallen from a cell phone tower off Yawgoo Valley Road”.

I am looking for more information.
