Police say he was found Tuesday night by a relative who went looking for him when he didn’t return from his outing.

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a man found hanging from a tree stand near his upstate New York home apparently fell and was asphyxiated when he became tangled in his safety harness.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office tells the Post-Star of Glens Falls ( http://bit.ly/Rjf71p ) that 50-year-old Daniel Bemis went bow hunting Tuesday in the woods behind his house in the town of Queensbury, 50 miles north of Albany.

Police say it appeared Bemis fell from a tree stand at such an angle that it caused his safety harness to become wrapped around his upper body and he asphyxiated. Officials say Bemis had installed the harness correctly.
