When felling trees – tragic: 76-year-old died when he fell from a ladder

Date:

What a tragic accident: when a 76-year-old man from Eastern Styria was pruning trees on Thursday, he fell three meters from the ladder. And wounded himself so badly that there was no salvation for him. The woman found her husband who had died in an accident.

The pensioner from Pöllau near Gleisdorf was busy cutting trees on his property in the morning. For this he stood on an aluminum ladder.

Fallen three meters deep
Around noon there was a fatal accident: the 76-year-old fell about three meters from the ladder to the ground. He was so badly injured in the head and torso area that he probably died instantly. The woman found her husband lying motionless on the ground and called the emergency services.

Immediately initiated resuscitation attempts by emergency medical personnel were unsuccessful. Debts of third parties could not be charged. The public prosecutor’s office in Graz has released the body for burial.
