He was 49. The accident resulting in Mr Cochran’s death by asphyxiation happened some time between noon and 3:30 pm last Tuesday. He was operating a tractor alone on his farm on Lot 21, Conc 6 in Ramsay township. Perth OPP who were called to the scene about 4 pm, report that Mr Cochran was trapped under a large piece of frozen silage. The silage appeared to have fallen off the front end loader on the tractor. The tractor was in reverse and continued to back up until it hit a tree. The silage pinned Mr Cochran underneath it, pressing his chest and abdomen. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Dr Ralph Bach. Mr Cochran’s long list of community involvement included being past chairman of the Algonquin College Board of Governors and past president of the Ontario Association of Rural Municipalities. In addition to being former Almonte reeve, he had been chairman of the Almonte General Hospital board and Almonte Lions Club president in previous years. Mr Cochran owned Mississippi Travel in Carleton Place. “He was one of my very close friends.
