Death on Cabin Creek

Fifty-nine-year-old Todd Maus died on Cabin Creek Road last Wednesday, May 6. According to Jenny Glenn of the Crook County Coroner’s Office, Maus was running a D8 dozer along the Bakken Pipeline traveling through Crook County near the intersection point with the county road.

When the teams met for the daily reassessment of their schedule and work, Maus was not on hand.

The crews searched the line they had completed, discovering the already deceased man still seated in the cab of the machine. The autopsy was conducted on Thursday, May 7 with the conclusion of heart attack as cause of death.

Maus worked for Loenbro Construction and had been in Wyoming for a couple of months working on the pipeline.
