A logger who was struck by a tree in Andover has died.

The Oxford County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to South Main St. around 8:30 a.m. Thursday to find a 53-year-old logger dead.

Sheriff Christopher Wainwright says the man, identified as Mark Beaudoin of Hanover, was cutting trees on his property when one fell on top of him, killing him instantly.

He was discovered by a neighbor who heard an idling chainsaw and went to check on him.

Police said Beaudoin was wearing safety equipment.
