Description:On April 17, 2013, a 30-year-old male Hispanic lawn care worker was injured when struck in the head by a metal projectile from a coworker's lawn mower. He died on April 18, 2013, from his injuries. The lawn care worker was trimming approximately 25 feet away from his coworker when the coworker ran over a pet tie-out stake with a lawn mower. The mower sheared off part of the stake, creating a projectile that struck the lawn care worker on the side of the head. The medical examiner identified the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.
