Morgan Delack said district officials reached out to the family “immediately after to see how the school district could help the family at this difficult time.”

James Gerage and his brother Chuck Gerage have operated Omega Demolition Corp. , which employs about 300 people, since 1997.

A person at the Omega Demolition office Tuesday said the company is not making a statement on Gerage’s death at this time.

The company has worked on high-profile projects including demolition of the Ohio Street feeder bridge to and from the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago and the removal of concrete and a seating area at the Allstate Arena to install the Chicago Wolves ice rink.

An Omega Demolition employee was killed in April when a 40-ton steel beam hit him after it fell from the Jane Addams Expressway onto Touhy Avenue in Des Plaines. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said the accident was preventable and that it was investigating.

OSHA had previously issued Omega nine citations, many for lead hazards.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office said a determination on the cause and manner of Gerage’s death is pending.

A funeral Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at St. Anne Church in Barrington. Arrangements are being handled by Salerno’s Rosedale Chapels in Roselle.
