James Turnbull, 79, of White Township, Pennsylvania, died on December 10, 2014 after being found in a wooded area by another deer hunter shortly before 5 p.m. The Indiana County coroner, Jerry Overman Jr., reported that Turnbull was shot with his own rifle while hunting deer.

Authorities ruled out foul play and involvement by another hunter, and described the death as accidental. The exact circumstances of how the rifle discharged remain unclear; the Pennsylvania Game Commission, state police, and the coroner continued to investigate the incident.

If anyone hunted in that area that day or has information about the scene or Turnbull’s activities before the shooting, please share what is known.
