The foreman at a Dartmouth, N.S., construction site will go on trial next spring on a charge of criminal negligence causing death. The charge against Jeff Scott Gooch, 38, relates to the death of Brandon Alcorn, 22, in March 2018. He died from injuries he sustained when he fell off the roof of a Kent Building Supplies store that was under construction at Dartmouth Crossing. Alcorn was working for Insulated Panel Structures, Inc., a company based in Waterdown, Ont. Gooch faces a five-day trial before a Nova Scotia Supreme Court justice, beginning on May 9, 2022.
