Child pulled into wood chipper and killed

SALEM, CT (WFSB) -

A 6-year-old child in Salem was killed Tuesday morning after being pulled into a wood chipper, officials said.

Connecticut State Police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance said the boy was outside with his siblings helping his father clear brush and grind trees from a neighbor's yard at the time of the incident.

The boy has been identified as Jeffrey Bourgeois, a first-grader at Salem School

"The young child attempted to assist his father. When the father's back was turned, he picked a branch trying to feed it into the chipper when in fact he was pulled into the chipper," Vance said.

The boy's father owns C&S Tree Service and was on a job on Brookside Drive when the accident occurred.

Brookside Drive has been closed so emergency officials could investigate what happened.

Investigators said the boy's father and mother, Scott and Coreen Bourgeois, and their two other children are well known in the tight-knit community.

The first person to come to the family's aid was Salem Fire Chief Gene Mairorano, who is a neighbor.

"Basically we're getting counseling for the family. I was first on the scene and kept everyone away," he said.

Police said their investigation into the accident is not criminal, but state police want to make sure every aspect of the accident is investigated properly. The wood chipper was hauled away from the accident scene to be examined.

Salem School Superintendent H. Kaye Griffin said the district is in "emergency crisis intervention mode" and counseling is available to students as well as faculty.

Jesus Christ people are fucking idiots these days. WTF is a six year old doing around a god damned wood chipper? The father should be jailed for child endagerment at the very least. And if none of you have ever been around a wood chipper than you have no fucking idea how dangerous they are! So stfu!

The father should be jailed for child endagerment at the very least.

I think that instead of jail they should just take one of his kids and run him through a wood chipper.

[Donger]

Insensitive prick.

Insensitive pricks are usually too late, not too soon.

The family said that the kid wanted to be just like his dad when he grew up. "He was a chip off the old block," said a neighbor.

As a father, I feel horrible about this horrific accident. I feel it is customary to send a meal to families who have lost a loved one. The last thing they will feel like doing is preparing meals. Any suggestions?

his dad asked what the buzz was...

Why do you arbor such feelings to rake light of this incident? Someone ought to kick his father's ash!

Somebody needs to call up the funeral director to remind him not to serve pâté at the reception.

We're not making fun of a kid getting killed. That's an awful situation for one random person out of 7 billion people on this earth. We're making tree puns - like we do each time somebody dies tragically. If something tragic happens to somebody in this circle, there's an outpouring of sympathy, prayers, and positive thoughts.

Kids are around dangerous equipment all the time. The key is to make sure they respect the tools and know how to be safe. Obviously, the kids clothing got caught up in the tree branch. That's really the first rule of wood chipping; don't wear loose-fitting clothes.

I've realized that there's nothing people won't make fun of but, yeah, this one's kind of mystifying given your point. I mean, hell, I don't have kids, and even I won't cross this line. We're not talking about some guilty-ass stupid full-grown adult; those are worthy of humor and a posthumous Darwin Award. We're talking about a fucking six-year-old pulled into a fucking woodchipper. Really. If there's a hell, some of you have a ticket already punched. Now go look at your kids and imagine something that horrific happening to them, and you, and then a bunch of assholes on the Internet making jokes about it. Sick fucks.

He was six years old.

I don't know the circumstances. If the dad was allowing him to help, the dad was being totally irresponsible.

You don't ask a 6 year old to drive a car, you don't ask a 6 year old to run a wood splitter, and you don't ask him to run a wood chipper. A 6 year old doesn't have the awareness to actually understand HOW dangerous those things are.

There's a good chance (kids being kids) that he was explicitly told to stay away from the chipper and he did it anyway 'trying to help'. That's how kids are.

It's sad. One of those things that anyone from outside can say 'should have never happened' but shit happens. Tragic horrible shit.

one of the best movies evar.

[Braincase]

I make jokes as a way of dealing with/avoiding tragedy/misery. This is a terrible thing for this family to endure, for sure, and if I knew the family or someone else that had to deal with something similar, I probably wouldn't make a joke.

[Jenson71]

I fail to see how a tasteless joke about the death of a 6 year old child is remotely funny.

I fail to see how anybody who makes such a joke can be remotely compassionate about the situation.

You wood think that, wouldn't you?

[Thig Lyfe]

Heard the kid's nickname was Pinocchio.

Pine oak y'know

I can remember 10 years ago people would have compassion for something like this. Talking about a 6 year old boy dying in one of the most horrific ways possible and at such a young age, probably a good kid too. Cracking jokes at that isn't cool IMO.

Yeah, people didn't have sick senses of humor 10 years ago. Everything was sweetness and light.

[Frazod]

Been a few years since I've seen it, but is that scene from Fargo?

Is dat ya friend der, in da woodchippa?

Quite frankly, my heart is torn into pieces over some peoples behavior in this thread.

[tooge]

I'm not feeling too chipper about this whole thing. Pretty sad. That little guys was a chip off the old block. Poor dad. Probably had a chip on his shoulder, being a tree service guy and all.

[Jive Ass]

Shuddered just reading the thread title. Damn.

[Extra Point]

Homonym people got butt hurt over this thread? I refuse to guess.

It's a sad, sad thing for the family, and I wish the incident didn't happen.

Different strokes and all that. I absolutely wouldn't make a joke if I knew the family or if they were members here. But since nobody here is emotionally involved in the situation I think a joke helps to lighten an otherwise tragic and heart-wrenching situation.

But since nobody here is emotionally involved in the situation I think a joke helps to lighten an otherwise tragic and heart-wrenching situation.I agree. I choose to think of it as using annoyingly bad puns as some kind of cutting tool that prunes away the hurtful emotionally traumatic dead branches of the tree of life. It's better for all involved, especially the tree of life which can now continue growing and living healthily for several more decades.

[Easy 6]

The dad HAS to be a meth head or something to let a 6 year old anywhere near a ****ing wood chipper or any kind of tree trimming job at all for that matter.

Worst dad of the year.

[KCUnited]

More respect should be shown forest in peace threads.

[suzzer99]

In the future can we possibly make the thread title something "something horrible happens to a child" for those of us who really don't want to read these kinds of threads or have mental images of them just by looking at the front page?

[Bump]

I guess I'll chime in


damn, why am I in the mood for a ground veal sandwich right now?

[Thig Lyfe]

If this had happened in Tree of Life, maybe fewer people would think it was a boring movie.

You just got off your Bong!

[Brando]

Does this tree service offer organic compost? I want to grow some blood oranges.

[JOhn]

Now had this been titled "ex-wife falls in a wood chipper" that shit would be funny :)

[Skyy God]

Of course a Bourgeois couldn't handle power tools.

I was expecting distribution pictures when I clicked in, actually.

[Bwana]

Ouch!

[DJ's left nut]

So did the paramedics bring a rake?

(Seriously - why bother with an ambulance on scene? A shop-vac and a pickup truck would've probably been sufficient)

[tooge]

Orrrrr, we could just merge the two threads. Girl, 6, chopped up in woodchipper. Cleanup is a breeze, as she is simply sucked down a faulty pool drain.

[Thig Lyfe]

The mom is reported to have said, "At least we finally have a use for that damn Roomba we bought."

[SPchief]

I'm sure the dad is in pieces over this.

[Brando]

Accident was to be expected. Kid was all over the place.
