Update on the death yesterday. Let me start off by saying the fellow was a long time tree man he had gotten started a few years before hugo(89). He was a very large man in his late 60's. He was crouched down cutting a pine tree making the back cut while his worker pushed on the tree with bobcat. the tree broke or twisted,can't get an exact story, landing directly on the back of his neck and shoulder area. Everyone that I talked to said he was DOA.
Short on help and got a little ahead of himself, is what I was told.
He was falling a whole tree, not a stub, an average sized pine for this area.
