A pest-control worker died in a jobsite accident in a residential North County neighborhood Thursday afternoon.
The victim’s partner found the man lying unconscious on the ground with a bleeding head wound outside a home in the 1400 block of Oak Hill Drive in Escondido shortly after 1:30 p.m., according to police.
Medics tried in vain to revive him before pronouncing him dead at the scene. His name was withheld pending family notification.
The co-worker, who did not witness the accident, said the victim appeared to have fallen about 10 feet off of a patio, Sgt. Fred Cheatham said.
