Police are preparing a report for the coroner following the death of a man at Tungkillo yesterday.
Emergency services were called to a private farming property on Collins Road just before 8am on Tuesday 14 January after reports of a quad bike rollover.
The rider, a 52-year-old man from Woodside, sustained serious injuries in the Polaris all-terrain vehicle (UTV) crash and died at the scene.
The victim has been identified as Tim Noske, a well respected butcher from Hahndorf’s ‘Max Noske & Son’, with tributes rolling in from around the region, including from colleagues at Balhannah Butchery, Lowe’s Meat Co and Pottsy’s. He is being remembered for his generosity, friendly smile and desire to help others.
Noske was also a supporter and sponsor of his old sports team, the Handorf Football Club.
“He was a friend to many and we offer our deepest condolences to the Noske family at this time and share in Tim’s loss as a community,” the club posted on Facebook.
“The Noske family have been consistent and loyal contributors to the local community – providing meat and especially delicious sausages for Hahndorf’s fund‐raising events, as well as donating time and effort towards many community functions.
“Tim’s loss is shared by all of Hahndorf. We thank him and the family for their contributions. May he rest in peace.”
SafeWork SA has been advised of the incident.
There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and police are preparing a report for the State Coroner.
