A man who had to be rescued by firefighters after losing consciousness in a tree-cutting incident in Kaysville, Utah, ended up succumbing to his injuries in the hospital, as confirmed by the Kaysville Police Department. The man, identified as Santos Baudilio Lopez Perez, 49, was discovered unconscious and suspended 30 feet off the ground by his harness by authorities responding to a report of the incident near 130 E Shadowbrook Lane. Perez was described as working on cutting the top section of a tree when tragedy struck, and the top half of the tree fell on him after he made the final cut.
