WW - Evidently he was carrying his crossbow slung on his back with it cocked and loaded.. A No-No..
A Middleburg Heights (Ohio) man apparently was killed by his own crossbow as he was hunting in a woods in northern Ashland County.
The body of Michael Yankovitz, 31, was discovered by another hunter Sunday afternoon in a woods on Ruggles Township Road 1461. Yankovitz died from an arrow accidentally discharging from a crossbow he was carrying, piercing his back and neck.
Investigating the death were the Ashland County Coroner's and Sheriff's offices, Ohio Division of Wildlife officials and officers with the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.
