MI - Two men die in hunting-related incidents

Two Michigan deer hunters died in accidents this week, including a man who fell out of a tree and an apparent victim of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Douglas Mitchell Krawczak, 25, of Rogers City, was found dead Wednesday at the base of a tree blind in Presque Isle County's Metz Township. Relatives mounted a search when he failed to return home from hunting, the sheriff's department said.

A 59-year-old hunter from Flint died in the carbon monoxide case, said Michael Dermyer, the Lake County undersheriff. His name was being withheld until relatives were notified.

The man camped Monday night in a 14-foot travel trailer in Yates Township and was found dead Tuesday morning. He had used a small propane heater designed for outdoor deer blinds, Dermyer said.
