What a horrific accident. A tree surgeon passed away this week after a series of accidents ended up with him in a wood chipper.
According to a police report obtained by The Sun, Joseph “Joey” Wesley Manire had been trimming trees in Owensboro, Kentucky, on Monday night. But things took a tragic turn when the 46-year-old tree surgeon somehow got tangled in a string of Christmas lights and fell into the dangerous machine, which shreds unusable tree branches into wood chips. We don’t even want to imagine what that might do to the human body. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Hopefully it was over in an instant.

The terrible incident occurred near the Owensboro Christmas Lights, a popular light display in the town that was started by one of the local families 25 years ago. The event features “over-the-top” decorations and lights — which hundreds of visitors come to see each year. It’s unclear whose lights Manire got tangled in, or how.
Understandably after such a grisly incident, the festivities were temporarily put on hold this week. Organizers for the attraction asked everyone on Facebook Monday to stay away from the area at the time, writing:
Wood chippers are extremely dangerous, though deaths are relatively rare — according to the National Library of Medicine, there were 113 wood chipper fatalities from 1982 to 2016. For such a brutal death to be associated forever with a Christmas event… Just awful.
Since the accident, Joey’s good friend Gregory Huntley penned an emotional tribute to him on social media Tuesday. He expressed in the message:
