Mass. man dies in chain saw accident

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.
 
I talked with the responding paramedics. Apparently a hard working local guy that was well known in the area. The rest of his crew were all family members. Other folks that I talked to mentioned that he was know to push the edge of the envelope.

My condolences go out to the family
 
Live in the next town over.. Didnt know him personally, but alot of guys I work with knew him. Very sad news... thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.
