CHARLESTOWN, R.I. — Caution tape now lines the wall an off-duty Woonsocket firefighter fell off of early Sunday morning in Charlestown.

Sean Newton, 23, is now listed in critical condition at Rhode Island Hospital after he suffered severe head injuries in the fall off a two foot wall along the walkway outside the Rathskeller Tavern.

Charlestown Police Chief Jeffrey Allen told NBC 10, “Who knows why. Was he hopping off? Did he trip? Did he fall? No one will ever know.” Allen says there was no foul play, as officers have seen video from the restaurant’s cameras. “It was a terrible, horrific accident and nothing more,” he said.
