Australian TV director dead after chopping up his hand while trimming hedges with the battery powered chainsaw he had bought earlier in the day.
Also I'm not a doctor but it sounds like his injury needed a tourniquet.
"An Australian TV director died in a freak gardening accident — fatally cutting his hand with a new chainsaw while trimming the hedges at his home.
John Clabburn, 52...was cleaning up the high conifer hedge in the backyard of his family’s home on...April 6 when he slashed his hand with a cordless saw he had just bought that day, his wife told the Daily Telegraph.
Clabburn fell off the ladder he was on, tumbling 10 feet to the ground — and ended up suffering fatal cardiac arrest from the blood loss from his slashed hand.
'When I went out to the back garden, he was crawling on the ground on his stomach,' said Clabburn’s wife, Melissa...
'I kept getting towels to stem the flow, but the blood wouldn’t stop.'
... 'One minute we were admiring how straight the hedge was looking and what a great job he had done — he was so meticulous, he had a great eye for detail — the next, John was in an ambulance.' ..."
