Man who died trimming tree is identified
Authorities have identified the 58- year-old man who apparently had a seizure and died while 30 feet high in a tree he was trimming Sunday in the Derby section of Evans.
Timothy E. Krzos, who lived in Derby, was working on a tree at a friend’s home on Wellington Drive, where he was found unconscious, wedged between two branches in a tree.
Witnesses told police Krzos climbed the tree and was cutting branches when he told friends below that he was feeling dizzy and was going to climb down, police said.
While on his descent, witnesses told police, he had a seizure.
Police, firefighters and an ambulance company arrived at the scene. Firefighters were able to reach Zrzos with their ladder truck and then lower him to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
