SIKESTON (AP) — An employee of a southeast Missouri retirement center is dead and three residents are injured after a tree fell during high winds.
The Sikeston Standard Democrat reports that 41-year-old Richard Flye died Wednesday at Green Meadows Retirement Center in Sikeston when a gust of wind blew over a rotting tree. The tree landed on a picnic table where employees and residents were sitting.
Other workers say Flye was trying to help the residents when the tree fell.
