Happened not far from me. For an accident like this, what tools does one use to clean up the accident scene? I'm guessing either a scraper or a shop vac.

All kidding aside...how does one fall into wood chipper?

How did the police “find the man” dead from his injuries?

CAL OSHA is investigating the accident looking for any “shred” of evidence.

I spoken with Peter Stormare many times at the studios. He was really happy when he got his US citizenship, and a straight shooter kind of guy. He’s loyal to the Coen brothers too. If they call, he’s there.

I love how a Swedish man is always cast as a Russian.
What does he think of that?

Happened to a very young adult (18 y.o. IIRC) in NE Pennsylvania within the past couple of months.

Had the chipper parked right under the tree they were working on no doubt.
And they will have to dump that load of chips and sort through it unless the family says otherwise.

Had a guy go through a one up at Seney Mi years ago. It was the sawmill owners son. The place was a disaster-an accident waiting to happen. And it did.

Clothing could have caught on a branch, then pulled him in.

All I know is that I’m very sorry to hear of his death.

Not a good way to go.

LOL yeah. I’ve met countless Europeans, esp. the Brits who come to L.A. for Tv and film roles. They said hands down, the govt funded studios like BBC cant compete with American studios.
