OTSEGO, Mich. – Michigan authorities say a man working in his yard accidentally killed his wife with a chain saw.

The Otsego (aht-SEE'-go) couple were trying to cut a tree Sunday when the man hit his wife in the neck with the chain saw.

She died at the scene of the accident, about 35 miles south of Grand Rapids.

Sheriff's Deputy David Labonde lives nearby. He tells WOOD-TV he heard a cry for help and did what he could to help.

The sheriff's department says it's withholding the couple's names until other relatives are notified. The TV station says they're in their 40s.

That is not that uncommon. My husband's grandfather had a chainsaw slip and cut his throat but was lucky enough to survive.

Met a friend of my husband that had a chain saw slipped and cut his Calf on his lower leg wide open.

Huge scar.


Anytime I see my husband with a lawn mower, weed eater, chain saw or any other dangerous equipment that is being operated by a person. I usually steer clear of the machine.

I wonder why the wife was so close to him, while he was operating the chain saw??

Shocking!
