A chainsaw operator met his death at Prestea in the Prestea-Huni-Valley District of the Western Region when the branches of a tree he was felling, fell on him, killing him instantly.
The police said the chainsaw operator, Kingsley Ave, 31, had been contracted to clear a piece of land for farming purposes when the accident occurred.
According to the police, Ave was a chainsaw operator and he had been asked to clear a piece of land for farming purposes at Dwiregum, a community near Prestea.
After clearing the bush, the owner of the land asked him to fell the trees which had occupied portions of the land meant for farming.
The police said in the process, Ave cut the first tree which fell on another tree near it.
That, according to the police, brought the cut tree down with speed, hitting Ave on the chest and killing him instantly.
The body of the deceased has since been examined and released to the family for burial.
