Deliveryman who fell to death ID'd as Warwick man

PROVIDENCE -- A deliveryman who suffered a fatal fall in a downtown building owned by Johnson & Wales University has been identified today by the police as Paul M. Corrigan, 51, of 117 Benedict Rd., Warwick.

A police report obtained today said Corrigan, an employee of Sherwin Williams who was delivering paint at about 10 a.m. yesterday, fell about 30 feet from an unfinished stairway in a building that was being reconstructed at 274 Pine St.

He was found by a construction worker, having suffered severe head and facial injuries in his fall to a concrete floor.

Corrigan, a widower and the father of a son and two daughters, died at Rhode Island Hospital.
