Bess also climbed onto an adjacent roof while trying to get to the woman's husband, who was clinging to a window sill 40 feet off the ground. But the man fell before Bess could reach him Despite his heroism, Bess said: "I'll never be able to forgive myself, no matter how hard I know I tried."
The victim is identified as 58-year-old Clyde Brown. An extension cord draped around a refrigerator appears to be the cause.
