NEW YORK (AP) - A Manhattan doorman has died after he fell through plate glass while shoveling snow.

The accident occurred around 9:30 a.m. Thursday on the Upper East Side.

The man was identified by police as 59-year-old Miguel Angel Gonzalez of Bridgeport, Connecticut.



Witnesses said he was shoveling when he fell down stairs leading from the street level and hit a glassed-in vestibule.
