Columbia Heights man found dead near deer stand

Last update: November 13, 2008 - 11:31 PM

A Columbia Heights man found dead on the ground near his deer stand Monday died of natural causes, according to a provisional autopsy report, the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office said.

Aaron Yund, 45, had been on a hunting expedition with four other men north of Akeley, Minn., when his brother found him unresponsive on the ground. Timothy Yund, of Andover, called for help about 5:30 p.m. Monday. Paramedics arrived, started CPR and took him to St. Joseph's Hospital in Park Rapids, where he was pronounced dead, said Sheriff Gary Mills.

The Ramsey County medical examiner's office conducted a preliminary autopsy and concluded that Yund died of factors related to heart disease. The examiner classified the death as natural, Mills said.
