A man died in Las Vegas after becoming trapped in a 25-foot palm tree. Firefighters responded to the scene and found him unresponsive; he was pronounced dead shortly after. It is unclear if the man was a tree trimmer, but two tree trimmers have died in Las Vegas in the past ten years due to heavy palm tree fronds. A similar incident occurred in Bakersfield, California, last year.
