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?
