MIAMI -- Two people are confirmed dead and four others are hospitalized after a piece of a crane collapsed and fell through the roof of a home being used on a construction site in downtown Miami.

Terrance Hennessy died at the scene of the accident while Jeremy Thornsbury was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

All six people were inside the house that was being used as a construction office Tuesday afternoon. Theron Cook was transported to the hospital with serious injuries and Emanoel Souza was hospitalized in stable condition. Russell Dyer was hospitalized with an ankle injury and Mark Simone was hospitalized with injuries to his knee and eye.

One of the injured men was expected to be released from Jackson Memorial Hospital on Tuesday night, officials told Local 10.

Bovis Construction Company was working on a large condominium project, Paramount Bay, at 2125 N. Bayshore Drive, and using the adjacent house as a construction office when a piece of crane fell through the roof of the home at about 1 p.m. One person died from a severe head injury from the crash, Local 10 reported.

The crash occurred while members of the safety crew of Bovis Construction Company were finishing lunch, Local 10 reported. Outside, a crew had hoisted a section of a crane and elevated it to the condominium's next level. For some unknown reason, the piece fell 39 stories to the ground, crashing into the roof of the home. The home was featured in the 1998 movie "There's Something About Mary."

Ignatius Carroll, public information officer for Miami fire-rescue, said rescue dogs were sent in to search for anyone who may have been trapped under the rubble, but no one was found.

Daniel Kodsi, president and chief executive officer of RPC Holdings/Paramount Worldwide, the developer of the project, released a statement Tuesday afternoon: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of our workers. This is a terrible tragedy and we are focusing all of our resources and efforts to cope with the aftermath of this accident. At this point, there are not many more details that we have, but as soon as we know more, we will pass them along."

An investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Miami-Dade homicide detectives is underway to determine whether wind played a factor in the crash or if it was human error, Local 10 reported.

On March 16 in New York City, six construction workers and a woman visiting from Miami for St. Patrick's Day were killed when a crane broke away from an apartment tower under construction and toppled onto buildings as far as a block away.
