JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) - State workplace safety officials are investigating the death of a golf course worker in Jackson.

On Tuesday, the body of 62 year-old Vincent DeGaetano was found under a cart at Jones Creek Golf Course.

Police said it appeared the vehicle had flipped, pinning DeGaetano under it.

The course is owned by the city but operated by a private firm, Golf Links LLC, for which the victim worked.

Betty DeGaetano said her husband was laid off as a truck driver last fall and went to work at the golf course in May.
