A Cross Creek Township man found Wednesday night under a lawn tractor apparently suffered a medical issue before it rolled over on him.

Donald Dayak, 68, of Avella, was pronounced dead at Washington Hospital, according to the Washington County coroner’s office.

Avella fire Chief Eric Temple said that Dayak was found under the tractor by a family member on property on Cook Road.

When fire crews from Avella, Mt. Pleasant Township and Slovan arrived, Dayak had been removed from under the tractor. He was then taken to the hospital.

State police also assisted at the scene.
