A tree trimmer from South Carolina was killed when he was struck by a branch while trying to remove a tree on Long Island that had been knocked over during Sandy.
Police said Thursday that 36-year-old David Freberg, of York, was struck in the head by a broken tree limb on Nov. 12 in Nissequogue.
He was rushed to Stony Brook Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Freberg was working for the South Carolina-based Patriot Tree Service, police said.
