KINGMAN – The Mohave County Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death of a man rescued from a tree he was cutting in the community of Pine Lake in the Hualapai Mountains. A Search and Rescue Facebook post said the 62-year-old man became unresponsive while strapped in his harness about 80 foot up a pine tree on Aug. 3. “Central Air Rescue Ranger 1 helicopter used their hoist to free him from the tree and lower him to the ground for medical evaluation,” the FB post said. “It was determined that he was deceased.” The man’s name was not released.
