WINDBER – A coroner said two hunters died of heart-related problems in Southwestern Pennsylvania on the first day of deer rifle season.
Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller said 71-year-old Allen Webb of Windber died while setting up a tree stand just after dawn Monday in nearby Ogle Township. That’s about 65 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Later Monday morning, 66-year-old Robert Georg of Port St. Lucie, Fla., was stricken in the woods of Shade Township. He died a short time later at Windber Medical Center.
Georg was visiting relatives in the area when he decided to go hunting.
