Man who died on County Tyrone farm named locally

A man who died on a farm at Killeter, near Castlederg, in County Tyrone has been named locally as John Logue.

Mr Logue, who is understood to have been in his 40s, died in the Pullytean Road in Killeter on Tuesday.

Police said officers attended the scene of a sudden death at the farm and said his death is not being treated as suspicious.

A spokesperson for the Health and Safety Executive NI (HSENI) said they are "working to establish the facts surrounding the incident".

Sinn Féin councillor for the area, Caroline Devine, said Mr Logue's death "has shocked this close-knit rural community".

"The family is well known and well respected in the area and my heart truly goes out to them following this awful incident," Ms Devine said.

"People here have rallied around them at this devastating time and have all pulled together to offer them support during this incredibly difficult time."

Devine said she visited the family home and expressed her deepest sympathies to the man's family and all who knew him.

Democratic Unionist Party councillor Keith Kerrigan said there was a sense of shock and disbelief locally following the death.

"I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the Logue family and to the wider family circle," he said.

"This is a second great loss to the family in just a matter of months," he said.
