(KNSI) – A Royalton man died after the saw he was using to trim trees touched a power line.
The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office says 33-year-old Noah Joshua Ness was cutting trees around 12:30 on Friday afternoon when he touched the power line in the 14500 block of Sherburne County Road 35 in Big Lake Township. Ness was on a ladder using a Silky Saw with an extension to trim branches on evergreens on the north side of County Road 35 when he touched a power line and fell to the ground.
An air ambulance transported Ness to the University of Minnesota Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine an official cause of death.
