Falling tree kills woman

Pacific Daily News • July 22, 2010

A 54-year-old woman is dead after a tree fell on her across from the Pigo Cemetery yesterday, Guam Memorial Hospital nursing supervisor Sally Quichocho confirmed last night.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, Guam Police Department Officer Albert Preuc said three individuals were injured after a tree fell on them while they were watching Liberation Day festivities.

A minor was released to his or her parents, while a man and a woman were transported by medics to Guam Memorial Hospital, Preuc said around 3 p.m. yesterday. At that time, the condition of the patients wasn't available. Preuc said he didn't know how the tree fell on the parade onlookers.

Quichocho confirmed at 10 p.m. yesterday that a 31-year-old man was in stable condition, but a 54-year old woman had been taken to Naval Hospital and was pronounced dead there.

Her body was taken to Guam Memorial Hospital yesterday evening, Quichocho said.

No other details were available last night.
