(KNSI) — An 84-year-old man is dead after a lawnmower accident Wednesday morning.
According to the Wadena County Sheriff’s Office, about 7:20, crews were called to a home in Bullard Township, due north of Staples. The body of Russel Schimpp was found in a field on his property. Officials say it appears he had been doing work on a broken lawnmower when it backed over him, pinning him to the ground.
It’s not clear how long Schimpp had been lying there before being discovered.
