VERNON — A 55-year-old man was fatally injured Friday while cutting down a tree on his Glenwood Mountain Road property, police said.

Angelo Burrafato was struck when the tree split, police said.

His wife, Karyn Burrafato, discovered her husband lying unresponsive by the tree at about 7:50 p.m. Friday.

No foul play is suspected.

The Vernon Township Police Department, Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office and Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office investigated the accident, police said."
