A Bourbonnais who was severely injured in an accident Wednesday at First Church of the Nazarene in Kankakee has died, Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner said.

Sean Curbow, 35, died at Riverside Medical Center, where he was taken. Curbow worked at the church. He was cleaning a light when the accident occurred, Gessner said.

Kankakee Fire Chief Bryan LaRoche said they were called about 11:22 a.m. for a subject who had fallen.

Curbow, who is a member of the church, suffered severe trauma from a fall of about 35 feet onto church pews, LaRoche said.

LaRoche said Curbow was inside the sanctuary using a man lift. Fire department personnel worked for about 30 minutes to free the victim from the lift and damaged pews.

An air ambulance helicopter was called to the scene, but Curbow’s condition did not allow for transport, LaRoche said. Instead, Curbow was taken to Riverside.
