Abstract: At approximately 11:30 p.m. on January 4, 2017, an employee was on a tract of timber owned by his employer.

The employee's son, the company owner, the local Sheriff's Department, emergency medical services, Fire Department, TWRA, THP and friends went to search for the employee. The employee was found in a very remote area near the back portion of the property down a ravine with a steep slope approximately 75 ft to 100 ft. The employee was lying at the bottom of the ravine with a four wheeler on top of him. His head appeared to have hit a rock that was lying underneath him. The employee was pronounced dead on arrival by the medical examiner on scene.
