Body found on rural mountain road identified
Officials from the Fayette County coroner’s office identified the man who was found on Bell Grove Road Monday morning.
Charles R. Adams Jr., 49, of Uniontown was pronounced dead at the scene near a field along a rural part of Bell Grove Road, according to Deputy Coroner Jessie Camilli.
Adams died of blunt force trauma and sustained multiple skull, arm and leg fractures after he allegedly fell off of the tractor he was on, she said.
Camilli said officials believe Adams was cutting brush along the road Sunday when it happened, though he wasn’t found until Monday morning when friends and family were out looking for him.
State police are investigating.
