SIREN, Wis. (BURNETT COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE NEWS RELEASE) --
On Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 3:30 p.m.
Burnett County Deputies, Webster Fire Department, and paramedics from North Memorial Ambulance responded to a farm incident that occurred east of Webster on Austin Lake Road in the Town of Meenon. A 55-year old man had been operating a tractor pulling a rear-mounted PTO-driven tiller when he stopped and climbed down from the tractor to clear an obstruction. The man’s three-year old son that had been riding on the tractor with him apparently exited the tractor at the same time and was pulled into the tiller when he approached the implement.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene by Burnett County Deputy Medical Examiner Erin Voglund; the names of the deceased child and his father are not being released at this time.
Investigation into this incident continues by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office and the Burnett County Medical Examiner.
