Timothy E. Bowers, 32, of Decatur (IN) was hunting Saturday afternoon when he fell about 16 feet to the ground from a tree stand...
Bowers suffered a spine injury and paralysis, authorities said.
On Sunday, "Bowers self-elected to remove himself from life support systems and died" that evening....
Bowers was a newlywed; he married Abbey Logan on August 3...
His widow is expecting a baby....
State conservation officers urge hunters to always wear a safety harness when climbing up or down tree stands and to use a haul line to raise equipment up and down.
This year, Indiana has seen a total of seven tree-stand falls, with Bowers' fall being the only one classified as a fatality......
Tragic, for sure. I wonder why he didn't want to stick around to see his progeny born?
