6-year-old Jeffrey Bourgeois dies after getting sucked into wood chipper

Posted in April 10th, 2012

A 6-year-old Connecticut boy died earlier today following an accident with a wood chipper that his father was working with.

Police in Salem said the accident happened around 8:45 a.m. at 24 Brookside Drive.

Jeffrey Bourgeois and his two older siblings were helping their father, Scott, owner of C & S Tree Removal LLC, clear some land when the accident happened.

It is believed that the senior Bourgeois had turned his back to gather some bushes when the Jeffrey put a branch into the wood chipper and got sucked in.

Jeffrey was pronounced dead at the scene.

The horrific accident is being investigated.

Why would a six-year old child help with wood chipper? It’s too dangerous especially for small children.

What a wonderful loving father, spending quality time with his children teaching them how important working hard is. There are children that have no father teaching them, loving them or supporting them. My thoughts are with the entire family but my heart bleeds for the dad. It wasn’t his fault, he was being a good dad. If we could only turn back time, but we can’t . May the love and support that finds this family be enough to simply help them survive each and every day to come!
