The police have named the man killed in a workplace incident in Paengaroa last week.
Paengaroa man Owen George Williams, 61, died in a tree-felling incident on a rural property near the intersection of State Highway 33 and Allport Rd on Tuesday.
A police spokesman said thoughts were with Williams'
family.
The death has been referred to the Coroner and Worksafe is investigating.
A Worksafe spokeswoman said the investigation could take up to a year to complete, and the watchdog would not be releasing any further information about the circumstances in the meantime.
