The Bucks County Coroner's Office plans an autopsy Tuesday on the body of a Tinicum man found in the woods behind a home in a rural section of the county. Police say it's uncertain whether the man was stricken, causing him to fall from the tree stand, or whether he was killed by the fall.

Pennsylvania Game Commission officers also are investigating who fired a slug that broke a bedroom window in West Cocalico Township in Lancaster County at about 7:30 a.m. Monday. Nobody was hurt.

In Berks County, a hunter had to be rescued in a remote wooded area in Spring Township, near the Lancaster County line, after falling 30 feet off a tree stand before dawn. Fifty-six-year-old Scott Schweitzer of Adamstown called family members on his cell phone and said he had fallen and hurt his back.

In York Township, an unidentified 85-year-old man was taken to York Hospital after falling while hunting deer.

And in Silver Spring Township, in Cumberland County, authorities say a 10-year-old boy was accidentally shot in the foot. In Adams County, a man was accidentally shot in the arm as he hunted on private property.
