The Chinese food delivery man struck by a falling tree limb Monday has died, according to officials.
Jing Liu, 50, was riding his bicycle on a delivery route when he rode under a tree as workers trimmed its branches in Red Hook.
He worked at Ling Gee, a popular Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood.
Witnesses say the workers had set up cones around the tree and tried to warn Liu as he approached, but he appeared not to hear them.
The contractor tasked with working on the tree has reportedly been suspended, and the restaurant has closed its doors.
The Parks Department is investigating the incident.
