VICTORIA, Texas—A family friend found the body Monday of a 70-year-old man who died when he was pinned beneath his overturned track loader, the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office said.

Tom Kortz, 70, had just finished mowing a neighbor’s yard before he came home and got on the vehicle Sunday, his brother, Jerry Kortz, said in a story in Monday’s online edition of the Victoria Advocate.

DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky said the man’s track loader apparently got too close to the edge of an embankment before it rolled down the slope and pinned him.
