Authorities were called by one of Levinski's neighbors around 5 pm, and when they got to the scene, they found him under the lawnmower not breathing.

Various reports revealed that the commercial lawn mower Levinski was working underneath was hoisted in the air by a cable attached to a Kubota tractor. The cable broke, and the lawn mower fell on the 74-year-old, killing him on the scene.

It has not been determined how long the late Levinski was under the lawn mower before he was found by his neighbor and what caused the cable to break.

Recently, another sad incident occurred in Pennsylvania, which led to the death of a man from Paramus who lost his life following a skydiving incident.

Investigations have commenced, but the cause of his death is yet to be determined.
