Christopher Moses, 37, was working as a tree surgeon in the village of Rhu
A former Royal Marine was killed in a horror accident after being struck on the head while cutting down a 120ft tree, a sheriff has ruled. near Helensburgh, West Dunbartonshire.
Emergency services raced to the scene but Moses, who qualified as a tree surgeon in 2013, could not be saved. A fatal accident inquiry into his death of January 2020 was held at Dumbarton Sheriff Court earlier this year. "Although he was wearing a helmet and appropriate protective equipment, the weight of the trunk and the force with which it struck him means that it would have been unlikely to offer much protection."
He had previously served for 13 years in the Royal Marines where he reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and had been part of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moses had also established his own firm known as Easy as One Two Tree.
