That's a terrible story to have to tell. I can't really imagine the amount of things that had to align for the incident to happen with that outcome. Sad stuff.
That's tough to deal with for sure. I've finished 2 trees (that I know of) where someone lost their life trying to remove it. Always hits me in a certain way. I never feel I'm at risk, but I do think about the individual before, during and after the removal.
I'm currently waiting to begin removing a tree where a homeowner was killed pruning it and it got me thinking about all of the trees I've finished in the past where others had issues. It's a heavy feeling today that I don't take lightly. I've done this before and it was a little eerie as well...

I apologize guys, but I just ran out of time before I had to get to the airport this morning. Nothing is sold or will be until I get back next week and post again here. Sorry for the wait
Hi guys. I will answer all of the questions when I get back home and can get those details. I appreciate the interest! I'll try to get this done before I fly out of town tonight.
