RAYMOND, Neb. (AP) - A 39-year-old man has died after falling to the ground while helping to put a new roof on a building in southeast Nebraska.

The accident occurred on Saturday evening about two miles northwest of Raymond. Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner says Jason " Jake" Oenbring, of Tecumseh, fell about 21 feet through an unsupported part of the roof. Wagner says Oenbring was flown to a Lincoln hospital and was pronounced dead there.

The accident is being investigated.

Funeral services for Oenbring will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:00 at the Wherry Mortuary in Tecumseh, which is in charge of the arrangements.

Survivors include his wife, Emily, along with three daughters. 

Oenbring is a 1994 graduate of Pawnee City High School.
