TOTNES, England, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- An early member of the 1970s rock group ELO was killed when his van was crushed by a bale of hay, British police said.
Officials said the 1,322-pound bale of hay fell from a tractor on nearby farmland and rolled onto the road in Halwell, Devon, England and instantly killed cellist Michael Edwards, 62, Friday.
The BBC said Edwards, who was with the Birmingham, England, band from 1972 to 1975, was identified using photos and YouTube footage.
Edwards lived in Totnes, England, and was a founder member of the classical Devon Baroque orchestra.
Angus Gordon, chairman of the Devon Baroque, told the BBC: "He was simply the nicest guy and a brilliant musician. ... I'm devastated."
