After making a couple phone calls to friends in the immediate area. (one of which is a firefighter who responded to the initial call) I found out the cause of death was operator being ran over after he dismounted the tractor to move a tree limb.

The operators body was enough to bog down the tractor (which was running @ idle) killing the engine. A witness saw some of the event happening. There was no "roll over" involved. Neither friend could recall exactly what brand/model of tractor was involved, other than the fact it was GREEN......Hmmmm A green 8N?
