The man who died after an accident while helping to build a bonfire at a site in County Antrim has been named locally as John Steele.
He was in his 30s and from the Antiville area of Larne.
It happened at the Antiville bonfire in Fairway at about 21: 30 BST on Saturday.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) said it had responded to reports a man had fallen from a height. A rapid response paramedic, two emergency crews and a doctor were dispatched.
The bonfire was dismantled and a memorial service was held at the site on Sunday in memory of Mr Steele.
Constructed from stacked wooden pallets, the bonfire stood at more than 50ft (15m) tall.
It was one of many being built across Northern Ireland ahead of the traditional July celebrations.
