Investigation Summary
Employee #1 entered the work area to top felled pine trees. Nearby, a coworker was felling hardwood trees using a chain saw. Apparently, each employee was unaware of the precise location of the other. A 65 ft tall poplar tree was being cut, but before it was completely cut through, a gust of wind blew the tree in a direction unintended by the feller. The falling tree struck Employee #1 in the chest and caused internal injuries, killing him.
