Probe launched into farmer’s death

Industrial watchdog WorkSafe has launched an investigation into the death of 48-year-old Carabooda farmer.

It is believed the man was crushed after a slasher that was connected to a tractor fell on top of him yesterday afternoon.

A WorkSafe inspector travelled to the site yesterday to investigate the circumstances.

WorkSafe WA commissioner Nina Lyhne said any work-related death was a tragedy and relayed her sincere condolences to the man’s family.
