Here's some pics of that deck. I wonder which part he was working on. It's a sad story.

That's just sad.
A man that age should die in bed with his 25 year old mistress, not under a nasty old deck like that.

I was just under a deck like that last week, to assess how rotted the wall is beneath it. I didn't think a thing of it until I saw this.

Since that house is in the neighborhood I grew up in, I'll just chime in and say that you probably can't blame the city inspector for this, most folks don't pull permits for stuff like this.
Sad story, but better to die doing what you enjoy (even if you don't do it that well) than to die in front of the TV watching other people do it.
