Another arborist death

A tree care worker has died from his injuries several weeks after he fell from the platform that he was working from.

James Roxby, 48, died on Monday - he had never left hospital. An employee of Jaflo Tree Care Center, he fell while trimming trees last month in Nockamixon Township near Allentown, Pennsylvania.

We have virtually no details of the incident, but understand that he was helping clear tree limbs from overhead utility lines.

We will of course update this if and when we learn more.
