The victim of Monday afternoon’s tree-cutting incident north of Hollywood has died.
Habersham County Coroner Kasey McEntire said 74-year-old Leonard Highsmith of Rabun County died late Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 7, at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
Highsmith’s death has been ruled accidental, resulting from complications of a serious leg injury suffered while cutting a tree.
“Our thoughts and prayers extend to the family through this difficult time,” McEntire said.
