A tree trimmer has died, his body trapped under limbs and debris.

It happened on 11th street near "N" Street in Huron.

Fire fighters were called to the home around three this afternoon because the worker was not responding to people on the ground.

Fire fighters started a rescue operation, but once they reached the man, they discovered he was dead.

"We're not sure still if something happened to him and then an accident. Something medically may have happened or some catastrophic event occurred with the cutting or trimming of the tree that caused the fatal injuries," Captain Ryan Michaels with the Fresno County Fire Department said. 

The coroner will conduct an autopsy to determine how the man died.

His name has not been released pending notification of his family.
