It's a horrible way to go! Odds are since he was working for a property management company - he had someone yelling at him to get it done before the rain started again. And may have even instructed him to put them 'all the way up'. That person also may be dealing with serious emotional and possible legal grief. This is a work related incident from what I understand??? With the weather lately, I doubt anyone was eager to go hang lights...

I'll also add this. Tree trimming is pretty lax 'round here. Odds are a problem was due to happen - with the tree anyway if too close. And if he was at 60' - he may have been above the lines tossing the lights around and made contact - looks like the tree was at a decent, yet fairly close distance.
