Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:25 a.m. on February 17, 2009, an employee had gained access to the frond ring by climbing up the trunk using a climbing belt. The employee then began to remove dead palm fronds from below the ring when the ring broke in half, pinning the worker to the trunk with the majority of the ring's weight on top of him. The employee was killed. The review of Police Homicide Unit photographs and interviews of witnesses suggested the tree had at least four years of dead palm frond accumulation on the trunk at the time of the accident.
