Orange County Man Dies Trimming Tree After Jeanne

Saw this in a Florida web site:

An Orange County, Fla., man died Wednesday after being hit by a branch and knocked off a ladder while cleaning debris from Hurricane Jeanne, according to Local 6 News.

Officials said Terry Shriah was trying to trim a tree that was knocked over during the hurricane when he fell from a ladder.

Detectives said a branch he was cutting snapped back and struck in the chest. The impact knocked Shriah off the ladder.

He later died at a local hospital.

Shriah's cause of death had not been determined.

Looks like some of the homeowner accidents are foks trying to go too fast - might also apply to some of the "pro" accidents.
