A man is dead after his bulldozer rolled down a hill, and trapped him underneath.

On Saturday, St. Louis County Sheriff's office responded to a call about a bulldozer rollover, and arrived to find Donald Raether, 79, dead at the scene.

Raether's family had not seen him since 9:30 a.m., and grew worried when he never showed up for lunch. Raether had left earlier to plow on his property on Aune Road in Saginaw, Minnesota.

According to police, his family went to search for him and found him trapped under the bulldozer, which had appeared to roll down a hill.

Police are investigating this incident. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.
