Contractor from Slinger dead after garage collapse in Fox Point



FOX POINT (WITI) -- 38-year-old Sean Held, a contractor from Slinger, was killed after a garage collapsed on him in Fox Point Wednesday morning, October 30th. Now, many different agencies are trying to figure out what happened.

The garage was part of a residence near Santa Monica Blvd. and N. Bell Rd. in Fox Point. It was in the process of being rehabilitated.

"It's very uncommon to respond to something like this," said Fox Point Police Chief Tom Czaja. "I know that the contractors were shoring up the building at the time when the building collapsed. There was one individual in the building at the time."

Czaja says his department and the North Shore Fire Department responded immediately after two 911 calls came in around 9 a.m. Wednesday.
