Middleboro man dead after fatal crane collapse in Everett

MIDDLEBORO — Paul Ledwell, 37, of Middleboro, and one other man died Friday after a crane collapsed at a construction site in Everett. 

Ledwell and Larriston Lake, 44, of Roslindale were identified Monday by the Middlesex District Attorney’s office as the two individuals who were confirmed dead after the Friday, Oct. 24 incident. According to Everett police, the initial investigation suggests a large crane collapsed and killed the two workers.

The investigation is still ongoing, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office.

According to the Everett Fire Department, the crane was on a barge on a former marine terminal which made the response more difficult for the multiple agencies on scene.

The investigation is being conducted by the Massachusetts State Police, the Everett Police Department and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
