A man died after a tree fell on him near a logging camp Monday morning near Lake Mary Ronan.

Fellow workers began conducting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, then called emergency dispatchers, who sent air and ground crews to the area.

The Camp Tuffit Road location was difficult to find. Air responders arrived first and guided ground crews to the scene.

The man was later pronounced dead by Lake County Sheriff and Coroner Don Bell.
