An elderly man is dead after falling over 50 feet at his antenna farm on 
his property in Fall Creek. The fire chief says 84-year-old Paul Bittner 
fell while on Wednesday and was later found dead at the scene.

Bittner was known to dabble in amateur radio and had many antenna and 
radio towers on his property, making it known as an antenna farm. He was 
known by many ham radio operators under his call sign W0AIH.

One report says Bitner was performing maintenance on one of his towers 
at the time of his death.

He was a retired Lutheran paster. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Die Google-Übersetzung entscheidet sich bei "dies in fall" (zweideutig 
im Englischen)   für die falsche Übersetzung  "im Herbst" - was zwar 
(eigentlich)  nicht falsch, aber unrelevant ist.
Ich denke, es sollte besser "starb durch Herunterfallen"  heißen.
