Norman Frederick Jr., 24 of 1 East Fulton street was found dead this morning about 8:30 on the newly constructed Rockwood - Lasselsville road, near the Happy Home. The young man was found lying face down on the concrete by a fellow workman on the construction job.
Frederick left home this morning and drove to the paving job where he was employed, apparently in his usual good health. When he was missed by the other members of the crew one of the men investigated and found Frederick as described at a point in front of the truck which he was to have driven today.
No one in the vicinity could say whether he had tried to crank the truck and was struck by the crank or had just dropped over. Although it appeared Frederick was dead the body was placed in an automobile and brought to the office of Dr. B. A. Winne who pronounced him dead and notified Dr. Frank G. Calder, coroner.
The latter ordered the body taken to the Fulton County Laboratory in the Nathan Littauer hospital fee an autopsy.
Dr. Calder reported this afternoon, although the autopsy had been performed, the report was not complete and he was not ready to render a verdict as to the cause of death.
It was learned the young man was struck in the head by a piece of lumber yesterday and received a slight abrasion. Whether or not this injury contributed to the cause of death could not be learned.
