Authorities have released the name of a man who was killed in a San Rafael construction accident Tuesday.

San Juan Landaverde-Olvera, 59, of San Rafael, died when a stack of plywood sheets fell on him, the Marin County coroner’s office said.

Landaverde-Olvera was sitting atop a pile of lumber planks next to vertically stacked sheets of plywood when the plywood shifted and fell on him at a residential construction site on Fair Drive, said Sgt. Lisa Holton, a San Rafael police spokeswoman.

Documents from the San Rafael Design Review Board show that Fair Drive Partners LLC was building residences on several lots on the street. The home Landaverde-Olvera was working on had only a foundation and walls framed, Holton said.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health is investigating the death, and Roger Fielding, Marin County’s chief deputy coroner, said the cause of death will be released later this week after an examination, including a toxicology report.
