Investigation Summary
At 6:30 p.m. on May 15, 2018, Employee #1 was cutting limbs with a chainsaw, working from an extension ladder that was extended approximately 17 feet up into a tree. As he cut, a limb swung down and knocked him off of the ladder. The employee fell onto a non-energized electrical line, which had grown through the lowest fork of the tree, seven feet up the trunk from the ground. Employee #1 was found doubled over the electrical line, hanging in the lower fork of the tree, dead. He was killed after sustaining blunt force trauma to his head.
