A Madisonville man was killed Thursday morning when a car he was working on came off its jack and fell on him.

Madisonville Police Capt. Danny Russell said he went to a house on Uphill Drive where Tildon Ramsey, 54, was found under the car. Russell said he talked to Vivian Ramsey, the victim's sister, and she said they had been working on the car when she went inside.

Ramsey told Russell she came back out about 20 minutes later and found the car had rolled off its jack and onto her brother.

Russell said paramedics at the scene couldn't find any signs of life for Ramsey and he was taken to Sweetwater Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
