I also like Barbara's letter but in the end this man is dead. Where was the power company to shut off his power not bring in a backhoe  and loader to tear down his house,this isn't Waco. This is a power line crew clearing a easement,maybe some prior notice of what was going to happen and why,with some maps could have been helpful. At a cost of over $100,000 You could of put up an electrical fence around the property and waited him out. Never a good thing to die on your own property under these circumstances. But hopefully lesson learned,more data over time -neighbors,mailman anyone who knew him could have contributed. If he loved his dog as stated  maybe surround his his with puppies or a dog similar to his from animal control in kennels. 42 Hours is a long time to gather data and Barabras point is don't be just an adjacent property owner but a neighbor. Maybe a new name for the "Swat Team" is in order and add options  to this sad ending for Mr.Musser. Thank you Barabra.
