CASTLE DALE--The father of former BYU basketball and NBA player Shawn Bradley died Wednesday while working on his house in Castle Dale.

The Emery County Sheriff's Office said Reiner Bradley, 61, was on the roof of his home Wednesday morning applying caulk to a rain gutter when he fell 15 feet onto a cement basement entrance, hitting his head.

The sheriff's office believes he died instantly.

When Bradley didn't show up for work, his co-workers began looking for him. He was a physician's assistant and was well respected in the community.

He is survived by his wife and four kids.
