The father of Christine Chavez, 27, of Modesto, believes her death was preventable.
Christopher Chavez said that while his daughter often came by his home, his daughter was homeless and often slept outside during the daytime.
A spokesperson for the Modesto Police Department said that on Saturday around noon, a landscaper was cutting the grass at Beard Brook Park on a tractor with a pull behind mower when he saw a body in the grass that he had already passed through.
“We’re going to try everything to get justice,” Christopher said.
Gallo acquired the Beard Brook Park —where the body was — property on July 7.
A spokesperson for the company said a landscaping contractor was hired to perform weed abatement and fire prevention services. She called the incident an accident and said the “individual who was not visible and laying in a tall, weeded area.”

[My wife can walk through mid height grass in shirts and sandals and they don’t touch her. I walk through wearing boots and jeans and long sleeve shirt and they leave welts on my waist line and under arms.
Thing is with chiggers, they are too small to see, but leave red painful bite marks where they have injected you. And it itches, very painful itches.]
True, but I think this is about money, not “justice”.
There isn’t anybody that should be held liable.
Who looks into 3 feet of weeds for humans…ever?
The mower is racist!
[... itches, very painful itches.]
Try a dab of Vics vapor rub. Clears it up in a few min. Works with embedded ticks too.

She’s fat. She’s stupid. She’s economically illiterate. Throwing money into a hole only hurts average Americans. I don’t give a damn about any other global citizen. They are free to be stupid. We certainly don’t have to force stupid on them.
Cha Chiggars
You mean, to make up for all the support her mother wasn’t going to give her, anyway? Sad the daughter had a shiftless, druggie mother. But it’s hard to say, let’s take money from an insurance company and give it to the daughter, at least until we find out more about the case.
By choice? Maybe a drug-addled choice.
Yeah...it likely made a couple of close passes before it ran over her.
Yup Texas has fire ants, snakes, mosquitos, chiggers, poison ivy, etc etc. No deep weed hangouts here.
Her family didn’t care she was homeless and needed mental care but they are all about a potential $ettlement.
Likely crazy plus drugs.
Pops just wants $$$
I know that his comment stuned me for a second.
“We’re going to try everything to get justice,” Christopher said.
Justice was already served, albeit accidentally. Life is short, it is a lot shorter when you are high and hopeless.
I press hard with a fingertip for several seconds. Helps with chigger bites, mosquito bites, and bee stings, probably by dissipating the saliva or venom into surrounding tissue.
Justice=check
Same here - but locale is also blessed with the mighty oak mite. Think chigger that flies/floats through the air in late summer.
No work outside from late August/Labor Day through rainy days in October - unless it’s straight to hot shower with soap, and clothes directly into washer/dryer.
