PoliceTape-featureimagePolice are continuing to investigate an accident in which  a 62-year-old man died in a suspected tractor rollover on his Rosebank farm on Thursday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the property on Rosebank Road at about 9.30pm on Thursday night where the man was found dead, trapped under a tractor.

Richmond Local Area Command sergeant Andrew Lawrance told APN Media it was still unclear how the accident happened and that the man may have suffered a heart attack before the tractor rolled.

The man was last seen by a relative who left for work at 7am on the day.
