MAN DIES IN HUNTING MISHAP
Webb City Man Accidently Shot When Weapon Falls To Ground From Tree Stand
WEBB CITY, MO.-A 35-year-old Webb City man died after suffering injuries in a deer-hunting accident at Shawnee Trails Wildlife Area south of Mindenmines, according to Barton County Sheriff Bill Griffitt.
John M. Boyer was pronounced death at 9:04 p.m. Friday at St. John's Regional Medical Center's Intensive Care Unit, Jasper County Coroner J. D. Love said.
Sheriff Griffitt said he learned that Boyer was hunting by himself in the conservation area when the accident occurred.
Boyer was in a tree stand when his black-powder, muzzle-loading rifle dropped onto the ground and then discharged, hitting Boyer, causing a stomach wound. The bullet had also gone through the board of the tree stand that Boyer had been sitting on, according to Griffitt.
Boyer who fell to the ground, used his cell phone to dial 911. The Barton County Sheriff's Department received the information at 1:45 p.m. Friday that he was accidentlly shot by his own weapon, according to a written sheriff's statement.
Representatives of the Barton County Sheriff's Department, Barton County Ambulance, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Lamar and Mindenmines fire departments and Eagle-Med Flight responded, according to the sheriff's statement.
It took 30 to 40 minutes to find Boyer, Griffitt said.
Deputies first found Boyer's pickup, and they were later able to find Boyer, who was not to far from a path, according to Griffitt.
After Boyer dialed 911 to report the incident, the sheriff's office workers lost contact with Boyer, according to Griffitt. The sheriff's workers then called Boyer's wife at their home and she helped to contact him again on his cell phone.
Boyer died later that day at the hospital.
"It's just a bad deal," Griffitt said.
"He's married. He got one kid and one on the way."
Boyer's family told sheriff's deputies that he had been hunting for years, according to Griffitt. Griffitt said no foul play is suspected.
Boyer's accident is the first fatal hunting accident this year in Barton County, according to Griffitt.
Visitation will be from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday at Parker Morturary in Joplin. Services will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church in Webb City.
