Didn't see this one posted here. From what I understand he was dropping a dead tree, the top broke out and fell back at him and killed him. I climbed for a local firm this week and the owners brother used to work on the same county tree crew. Be careful out there! Here is the link to the story:

Sorry to hear of another's misfortune, but at least this fatality does not sound like some idiot that should not have gotten near the tree.

So sad, especially for such a valued fellow.
