OTSEGO, Mich. (WOOD) - The human resources director for Allegan County was killed in a chainsaw accident Sunday afternoon.
The incident happened around 2:05 p.m. at the couple's home, 765 Woodlea Drive in Otsego.
Deb and Jerry Daniels were trying to cut down a tree in their yard when she was hit in the neck with the chainsaw her husband was operating.
"I heard a cry for help, so I came outside and at that time I saw what was going on, and I rendered as much aid as I possibly could," said David Labonte, a neighbor and deputy for the Allegan County Sheriff's Department. "I'm glad that based on my position that I was the one that was the first to respond."
But nothing could help the 39-year-old woman. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Labonte said he cannot relate to what Deb's husband is feeling.
"I just can't even imagine," he said. "It's something I can't even fathom what he must be going through at this moment."
Investigators will continue to look into the details of what went wrong, but say there appears to be no foul play.
"In my mind personally, not having anything to do with the investigation, I honestly believe it was an accident," Labonte said. "I never heard them fight. They've always gotten along whenever you talked to them. He lived for her, she lived for him."
People in the neighborhood say the couple is loved very much.
Allegan County sent an e-mail regarding the accident to staff members that stated "Right now our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, her parents, and family...Deb's warm friendly personality touched those around her, and she will be sorely missed."
Funeral arrangements are still pending.

what he hell? must have been some piss poor chainsaw safety there.
I suppose its entirely possible she was way too close, and the nose of the bar caught something just right and kicked back hitting her in a way that killed her. theres some fucked up freak accidents that happen out there.

The chainsaw will pull itself into flesh.
My father almost severed the artery in his leg due to this. And he was a professional woodsman for 15 to 20 years at the time. Took over 200 stitches to sew it up.

Actually I have an acquaintance almost get his head cut off when he was a landscaper, he was working on a project, the other guy wasnt paying great attention and swung around thinking he was alone, luckily the other guy had good reflexes and hit the ground when he saw it coming...
Poor guy, how must he feel after this?

She didn't have to.
I noticed that she was wearing a camouflaged t-shirt, and figured it out on my own.

Wondering if the saw caught her hair and yanked her in.
Seems like an accident to me.

Ya, TMall and I grew up in a logging community. We also had a bus driver who cut his face open with a saw. Its probably one of the most dangerous tools in the world.
I guess if all you have ever used are old homelights and other small saws, you take it for granted. A Johnsered 625 Turbo or the like will slice you up into itsy, bitsy pieces quickly.

there was a guy around here about 2-3 years ago cutting up a tree in his yard and the chainsaw bounced back and sliced half his face off. Not pretty at all.

Any power saw will kick.... my friend's brother has an up close and personal encounter..... with his face.
It went down his cheek, thru his nose, and upper lip. Lucky for him it just microscopically glanced the bone.... because as it was, it took tons of surgury. But now you can barely even tell.

That is why I stay far away from Erik when he has the chain saw out! I'm not going to give him any opportunity.

I grew up collecting old chainsaws as a hobby, Mac super 250's Stihl 038 AV MAG II's Jonsered 670 Champs, two man machines, the bigger they are the more damage they'll do if you're not skilled in controlling them, or dont have a chainbrake.
the chain brake is a standard feature now because saws used to kick back often and it became mandatory for chainsaws. I used mine all the time just when I put my saw down to move some logs or something.
The bigger and older saws without chain brakes and running a 30" bar can be REALLY mean if they kick back. and I mean MEAN.
Those of you who were around when the idea of a "small" chainsaw was a 50cc motor will know what I'm talking about. I love my 10-10 auto with the bow bar on it. THOSE things will kick for sure though.

Many years ago I did some small time logging and a chain saw is a most unforgiving tool (Much like a bike). Fun, but serious fun. I did the bucking and length cuts with the little saw, 90cc w/36" bar. It was all my little ass wanted to deal with. I used the larger saws (125cc w/42"bar) a few times but it was more than I wanted to handle. I weighed in at about 150 at the time and when it hooked in to cut it would lift me off the ground. Actually the trees were more dangerous than the saws. They get really pissed when you cut them down and they actively try to kill you in some very creative ways. You can always tell when a logger has been doing it for a while. They are missing parts of their bodies...
I feel really sorry for that guy. He may never be able to close his eyes without seeing that.
