A Chico California ranch worker died on Monday when a branch apparently fell on his head after he shot at squirrels, according to the Butte County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to the 7000 block of Cana Highway at about 12:30 p.m. on a report of a "possible coroner's case." Joaquin Medina, a worker at the ranch, was found dead.
The Sheriff's Office said Medina was apparently shooting at squirrels and hit a large tree branch with a shotgun round.
The branch apparently broke, deputies said, and hit Medina on the head, causing head trauma. It's unknown if Medina was taken to a hospital, but officials said the trauma led to his death.
