VICKSBURG, Miss. - An Indiana man has died from injuries suffered in a fall from a cell phone tower that he was painting, according to Warren County Coroner John Thomason.

Thomason said Jack Pellow, 48, of Dale, Ind., fell about 50 feet Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Thomason said an autopsy will be performed.

The tower rises about 90 feet above a small building that once housed a radio station.

Pellow had subcontracted to paint the tower by National Tank and Tower of Evansville, Ind., said company president Sam Dorris.
