A man in his 40s was fatally impaled while tree-trimming in Canoga Park on Monday, according to officials. Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the 7400 block of Canoga Avenue, near the intersection of Valerio Street at approximately 3:20pm after receiving reports of the incident.<\/p>\n

Fire officials said that the man, who appeared to be about 44-years-old, was trimming a palm tree when he fell about 35-feet and landed on a 10-foot iron fence. Further, they stated that \u201c[the] fall rendered the patient beyond medical<\/a> help. An LAFD team will utilize a high angle rope system to carefully recover his body, which is currently covered by a sheet and shielded from public view by a tarp to preserve the decedent\u2019s dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is not clear whether the winds in the area played a factor in the incident, although video footage from the news helicopter after the incident<\/a> showed the palm trees that the crews were working on swaying back and forth.<\/p>\n
