A 67-year-old Tigard man died Friday morning after being found underneath a large tree limb in the Garden Home neighborhood, authorities said.

Ronald Edward Kibert was found unconscious in a greenspace behind a home near Southwest Florence Lane and 71st Place about 8:15 a.m., the Washington County Sheriff's Office reported early Friday afternoon. A neighborhood resident called 911 and performed CPR until responders arrived.

Kibert was taken to OHSU but died from his injuries.

Washington County deputies found no evidence of foul play and believe Kibert was struck by a tree limb blown loose during high winds that caused damage throughout the metro area. Deputies said they learned that Kibert frequently walked in the Garden Home neighborhood.

Kibert worked as a chiropractor at All Family Chiropractor in the Portland-Beaverton area. He attended school at the University of Illinois, according to his staff biography. He worked as a chiropractor since 1981.

Authorities have notified next of kin.



An unusually strong windstorm swept through the region Friday, knocking out trees, snagging power lines, closing some schools and interrupting public transit.

A small plane crashed south of Portland near Harrisburg, killing four people, but it's unclear if the weather played a role in the accident.
