`` It 's unclear how the accident happened .
It 's unclear whether he was going up or down at the time or what happened to the ladder . ''

John Turnbull, 81, of Coxford Close, Coxford, died after deciding to climb into his roof space to look for hair curlers for someone who lived nearby.
His wife of 61 years heard a crash and found the former soldier lying on the floor with blood coming from his nose.
The inquest heard that Mr Turnbull died from cardio-respiratory failure caused by an injury to his upper spinal column.
He suffered from type 2 diabetes but was in good health for a man of his age and often went up into the loft.
On March 24 this year his wife June was in another part of the property when he went to look for hair rollers for a neighbour.
In a written statement submitted to the inquest she said: "I heard a crash in the hallway and was shocked to find my husband on the floor, bleeding from the nose.
"I dialled 999 and an ambulance arrived in minutes."
Paramedics carried out CPR on Mr Turnbull but he is thought to have died instantly. A police offer who gave evidence said the pensioner - a retired printer - was lying beneath an open loft hatch.
Area coroner Jason Pegg said: "Mr Turnbull was doing a good deed for a neighbour when he fell from a ladder.
"It's unclear how the accident happened. It's unclear whether he was going up or down at the time or what happened to the ladder."
Mr Pegg recorded a conclusion of accidental death.

My father worked in the docks from aged 14 until he retired at 65.
He saw plenty of changes over the years, but the one thing he said would happen, when the dual carriageway was being built was it would need a lot of new drainage and pumps installed to cope as the road was lower than high tides and it would flood.
They then built the Industrial estate, reclaiming land from the sea. Taking away natural drainage.
To alleviate the problem will cost thousands of pounds and a lot of disruption.
I bet my father is having a good laugh now, watching his prediction being true.
He died in 2001 aged over 80, but he did see some of the chaos on Millbrook Road.
I just wonder how much longer before there is a bad accident, and some one makes the decision that things have to be done.

Students had the opportunity to ask Don John questions and share their thoughts and experiences.
Student Amreen Dosanjh said: “The talk was invaluable because it reiterated that race plays a significant role in many of the most important decisions that we make in our personal, professional and social lives, for example, where we live and who our friends are.”
She added “It encouraged us to challenge racism in any form and taught us how we can support victims of racism and respond to incidents of racism in a sensitive but effective way.
"I believe talks like these are critical in order to raise awareness of racism and in general to remind us to be tolerant and respectful towards each other.”
Don John has worked for many years as a youth and education officer for the Southampton Council for Race Equality, working with Black and Asian youths specifically in relation to the criminal justice system and racism in the education services.
Don said: "It is so important that institutions of learning play a significant part in addressing issues of ‘race’ in a year when the murder of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement have impacted on how people all over the world respond to the condition of Black and Ethnic Minorities.
“Education is clearly an important element in creating a fair society and I hope that my talk exposed students to information about the presence and contributions of Black people in the south of England, how society is now responding to issues of race, and how students can take individual responsibility to respond to racism.”
