A 42-year-old man working on a farm in Anne Arundel County was pinned under a mechanical mower and killed yesterday, police said. Mark Bausum was discovered by his elder brother under a Bush Hog rotary cutter shortly after 4 p.m. on the family farm on the 4600 block of Sands Road in Harwood, according to Lt. Bruce Whitlow of the county police. The two brothers had last spoken in the morning, he said. When the older man, Gary Bausum, 49, went to look for his sibling later in the day, he could not find him until he "noticed his brother's legs sticking out from underneath the Bush Hog," Whitlow said. Gary Bausum then removed the machine from atop the younger man, who was "cold to the touch," according the police report. It went on to say that the truck that was towing the mower was "buried up to its axle in mud," leading Whitlow to conclude that Mark Bausum "was trying to get it unstuck and ran over himself."
