A DAY at work ended tragically for Siparia sawmill owner Bishen Rampersadsingh, 46, who was killed when a tree he was felling with a worker landed on top of him on January 12.
The worker told police he was cutting the tree with Rampersadsingh around 9.20 am in a dirt track off David Jackman Trace, Quinam Road, when it came down and trapped his boss underneath.
He said he used the chainsaw to cut away sections of the tree and remove it from on Rampersadsingh, but he was found unresponsive. He said emergency health services were contacted.
