The Associated Press
BELCHERTOWN, Mass. — Police say a self-employed logger and father of five from Belchertown was killed in a chain saw accident in nearby South Hadley.
South Hadley police say 56-year-old Marc Sugrue was cutting a large limb from a tree on Wednesday when the chain saw he was using kicked back and cut into his neck.
Paramedics who responded to the scene found Sugrue suspended from a safety harness about 30 feet in the air. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
He leaves his wife, Janis, and five daughters ranging in age from 17 to 30.
The incident remains under investigation.
Joe Koslik, who is married to one of Sugrue's daughters, tells The Daily Hampshire Gazette that his father-in-law was a hard worker who adored his daughters and treated him like a son.
That's all I know, saw it in the Worcester paper.
