The Washburn University community is mourning the sudden death of baseball coach Steven Anson following a tree-trimming accident.
Mr Anson, 60, died on Sunday at his home, according to the university and Jefferson County authorities. Emergency responders were called to the home in Grantville, Kansas about 3pm on Sunday where Mr Anson was pronounced dead at the scene.
A family member had become concerned with not hearing the chainsaw running and went to check on him. It is reported that Mr Anson was found unconscious on the ground with a large tree branch on top of him.
Captain Carreno of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office told MailOnline today that it appeared that Mr Anson’s death was caused by the tree and not the chainsaw.
Even when you’re careful with the saw, the tree is still dangerous! Still not a “Gun Death” so move along!

Blaming the tree and not the chainsaw? Or the chainsaw operator? That doesn’t even make any sense.
Let’s back up another level and blame gravity. Gravity is dangerous.
