David Chain, 24, of Texas, was crushed by a tree last week near Grizzly Creek State Park. Chain was with other Earth First activists protesting what the environmental group said is illegal logging. Pacific Lumber Co. officials said Chain's death was accidental and the loggers didn't know anyone was there when they cut the tree that killed him. Earth First activists have said the loggers knew they were there and were falling trees in the activists' direction. However, they agree the loggers never meant to hurt anyone. PL is also conducting its own investigation, spokewoman Mary Bullwinkle said Monday.
