    Man in New York State dies after tree falls on him

    Eira Gwyneth Posted on

    According to police, a New York state man died on his property after a tree fell on him.

    Although the chances of being hit by a falling tree are fairly low, such accidents can sometimes happen. Older or diseased trees with broken branches or exposed roots can pose a risk of falling onto your property. Also, the amount of heavy rain and storms the area has endured this summer can be another major factor in weakening trees.

    According to the New York State Police, the investigation into this case is still ongoing.
