Last night, the victim's wife Sandra Johnson shared that her husband Philip Johnson passed away. There is also a facebook post which is very personal. Friends and many in the community know this information already.

It was confirmed by HCSO PIO Samantha Karges:

"On May 28 at about 5:30 p.m. a deputy coroner with the Humboldt County Coroner’s Office was dispatched to a property on Redwood Ave., outside of the city limits of Rio Dell, for a death investigation. Upon arrival, the deputy coroner learned that 68-year-old Philip Lee Johnson of Rio Dell was bucking redwood logs on his property when a log came loose and crushed him. He was declared deceased on the scene."



I did not post the name of the victim yesterday, even though I had the address and information.

KIEM posted these pictures of the property last night.
