The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office identified a man killed in a Friday afternoon tractor accident as Maurice Stamp, 86.

Firefighters and deputies were called to the man’s home in the Hazel Dell area after he was found pinned under his tractor, which had rolled over.

The medical examiner determined Stamp died from asphyxiation caused by the weight of the tractor.

Clark County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Fred Neiman said there were no witnesses, but it appeared to deputies Stamper was attempting to back up some sort of embankment when the tractor rolled.
