ESPANOLA — It has been determined that the death of a McKerrow man was accidental.

Monday at 1:45 pm, members of the Espanola Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police were dispatched to a private property on Hardwood Road in Baldwin Township, north of the Village of McKerrow after a male was found deceased out in the bush.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the man had been cutting trees, on his property, and was later found, on his tractor, deceased.

The victim has been identified as William Alfred Land, 78, of Baldwin Township.
