The Cedar Rapids Gazette covering Eastern Iowa reports an man died when the tree he was cutting fell on him. They offer no details of the accident. It happened on a Sunday so I assume it was a farmer or homeowner trying to drop a dead tree. Very unfortunate and sad. Probably a needless accident that could have been avoided.

That's two dead guys in one month, well, less than a month actually. Natural selection happens.
An update on the East Iowa death. The only new thing the newspaper had to publish was that this guy was trying to fell a walnut tree and it pinned him underneath. He was a farmer, 44 years old and working alone. They must be leaving out something cause I can't see how you could just drop a tree on yourself. Maybe rotten stump or something. Sad deal.
