Aaron Snook, a native of Wichita, Kansas (KS), tragically lost his life in a hunting reserve, leaving behind a mourning wife and three children.
According to official reports, Snook was on the south side of Burrton when the horrifying incident occurred. Security personnel were dispatched to the 8200 block of S. Prairie Lake Road at 7 am on Saturday.
The Harvey County authorities reported that three people, including Snook, were hunting in a duck blind. The location was a concealed shelter used by hunters to hide from the ducks.
However, what was meant to be a relaxing hunting trip took an unfortunate turn as one of the hunter’s shotguns accidentally discharged. The incident fatally injured Snook as they waited for medical assistance.
Unfortunately, authorities pronounced Wichita (KS) native Aaron Snook deceased on the scene due to excessive blood loss. The 41-year-old had informed his family about the trip, but he failed to fulfill his promise to return.
As the investigation proceeded, officers ruled out foul play in the incident and classified Snook’s passing as purely accidental.
Additionally, they promised to compensate his family for the tragic incident, which was out of anyone’s control.
Frequent visitors to the hunting area added that such hunting incidents were rare and Snook’s departure was extremely saddening. Officials sealed the area for several hours as they searched for additional evidence.
