Benmart Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Tragic. Trees can be lethal, particularly in jungle areas. Even in urban areas, caution is advised. Three years ago a elderly Italian male was killed in Jomtien, after being struck on the head by a falling tree limb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkside Gray Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Looks as though the tree had been cut, trees don't fall with a clean cut usually split at the centre or side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
