A man who was found under a downed tree in Willimantic on Wednesday night has died, according to fire officials.
Willimantic Fire Chief Marc Scrivener said firefighters responded to Union Street at 10:38 p.m. after a call came in that a tree was down on a person and they found a man in his 50s under the tree. That was after storms came through.
Crews worked to stabilize the tree, used a chainsaw and got the man out after around 10 minutes.
The man was pronounced dead, Scrivener said.
