A 58-year-old hunter was found dead in an elevated hunting blind near Hamelin after a falling branch apparently trapped him beneath the structure’s roof, police said.
Relatives discovered the man lifeless on Saturday morning in the six-meter-high blind in a wooded area of Aerzen. Emergency crews went to the site and worked for about four hours to free him.
The responders were ultimately able to remove the man from the hunting blind, but could only confirm his death. Police said the exact cause of death was not initially known.
