(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – The Sutter County Coroner has released the identity of the Yuba City man killed by a falling tree during Sunday’s storm: 82-year-old David Gomes.

Officers were dispatched Sunday evening to his Tres Picos residence when a neighbor called. He was reportedly on a ladder attempting to clear branches from a large redwood tree in the backyard, when either a sizeable branch of the entire tree itself came down on him.

Gomes is one of several confirmed storm related deaths in California over the past 3 days.
