Longtime George Town resident Cecil Hedges, 63, died in an accident at a residential construction site in Lower Valley this week, according to police.

Police and emergency medical personnel responded to a call shortly after noon on Tuesday on Natures Circle off Beach Bay Road to a report of serious injuries.

Mr. Hedges died from injuries caused when he was “struck by a concrete slab,” a police spokeswoman said.

Police said they are treating the death as an accident.

The Department of Labour and Pensions is now in charge of the investigation.
