A father of five from Virginia, USA passed away when a bear fell on him from a tree during a hunting trip.

According to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, a group of hunters chased the bear into a tree, before a man shot him as the group retreated.

The animal then fell from the tree, striking 58-year-old Lester C. Harvey Jr. who was standing at the bottom of the tree.

Local media reports noted that one of the hunters provided first aid until paramedics arrived, but Harvey succumbed to his injuries after being transported to a hospital.
