Hunter dies in freak accident after bear falls from tree in Virginia
A 58-year-old man is dead after a bear fell out of a tree and struck him in what appears to be a hunting accident in Virginia, state wildlife officials told USA Today.
According to a preliminary investigation, a group of hunters chased a bear into a tree, and as the group retreated from the bottom of the tree, one hunter shot the bear.
As the animal fell, it struck Lester Clayton Harvey Jr., who stood about 10 feet from the tree, officials reported.
The man was taken to a hospital and died Friday.

Going to knock you on the head.
You gonna break your body, darling.
Pretty soon you're going to be dead."
