Tree service owner killed in western Mass.

[Buckethead]

I believe he was a third generation tree cutter...very sad.

EAST LONGMEADOW - Police have identified a 28-year-old Southwick man killed by a falling tree on Donamor Lane Thursday afternoon as Tyler Granfield.

Police were summoned to a residence on Donamor Lane shortly after 3:30 p.m. for a report of a man that had been pinned under the branches of a tree.

Sgt. Patrick Manley said Granfield, owner of Tyler Tree Service, had been removing storm-damaged trees on the property when the accident occurred.

Three other employees freed Granfield by cutting away the branches that pinned him down and responding police officers attempted to revive the man, who was unresponsive, with CPR, Manley said.

Granfield was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield where he was later pronounced dead
