Texas Man Dies in Lawn Mowing Accident at Home

(Eastland, Texas) It’s a chore that so many people Texans must get done when they have some free time, mowing the lawn and cleaning up their yard. I’ll admit that it’s not the most fun activity especially when it’s extremely hot outside, although I remember a time when I couldn’t afford a yard, so I try not to complain about it too much. Many people across Texas don’t love having to mow their lawn, recently there was one man working on that chore around their home and it ended in his death.
