A County Tyrone farmer has died following an accident on his farm on Wednesday afternoon.
It is understood that the man, named Pat Tracey, a father of two, was killed as he was working on his tractor on Wednesday afternoon (25 October), according to The Ulster Herald.
Mr Tracey, aged in his 60s, and who was described by his neighbours as a "nice and genuine" man, worked for many years as a cattle dealer in the area.
The incident follows the tragic news of a three-year-old boy who died on his family farm in Carmarthenshire, Wales on Sunday (22 October) after a machinery incident.
In July, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) marked the start of this year's Farm Safety Week by calling the latest fatal injuries in its agriculture report 2017/2018 as "appalling".
Farming has the highest rate of fatal injury of all the main industry sectors, around 18 times as high as the all industry rate.
