WELLSVILLE, Cache County (AP) — A Wellsville City Council member and former mayor was killed after a shed he was disassembling collapsed around him, police said.
A neighbor notified police that Kent Brenchley, 69, was inside the shed when it collapsed Friday, said Cache County Sheriff's Sgt. David DeGasser.
"It looks like the wind blew this over on top of him," said Sheriff's Lt. Brian Locke. Brenchley was working alone, he said.
Brenchley served on the City Council since 2000, and was mayor from 1982 through 1985.
