A news release from the Dawes County Sheriff’s Office and attorney’s office says deputies were called to a rural residence on Saturday afternoon to investigate the death of Wayne Brickner. Family members had found his body near his home.

Investigators determined that Brickner had been spraying weeds on a steep incline when the ATV rolled over and across him, causing chest injuries.
