Emergency crews responded to an industrial accident call at a residence in the area of St. Clair Avenue West and Laughton Avenue, west of Caledonia Road, just before noon.

When they arrived, they learned that an employee working on the roof had fallen.

The victim was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Toronto paramedics said.
