Death

A tragic incident occurred in Lancaster County, resulting in the death of a man while he was trimming a tree. The unfortunate event took place at around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday at a residence located on Redwood Drive and Stone Mill Road in Manor Township.

According to the homeowner, she had hired the man for several days of work, which began last Friday and continued through Monday and Tuesday. She mentioned that she was inside her house when she suddenly heard a scream coming from outside. Upon investigation, it was discovered that one of the workers had noticed the man being unresponsive while positioned in a bucket raised up into the trees.

Witnesses present at the scene reported that it appeared as though a tree limb may have struck the man's head or pinned him against the side of the bucket. At this time, authorities have not released any information regarding his identity.

In order to determine an official cause of death, an autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday. Additionally, investigations are underway by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) officials to assess whether any safety protocols were violated during this unfortunate incident.
