An employee of Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashau, N.H. was killed after a tree he was cutting fell on him and crushed his chest.

According to a report in the Nashau Telegraph, the man, whose identity had not yet been released, apparently had the tree come back on him as he cut it, Sky Meadow’s Clubhouse Manager, Ed Callahan, said.

Firefighters arrived after other workers had removed the tree from the man and were performing CPR, Nashua Fire Rescue Lt. Tom Perault said. The man was in cardiac arrest, Perault said.

“Most of the people here are in shock,” Callahan said. “If you knew the person he was, it’s just hard to believe. Our first concern right now is for the family.”
