Tragic details have emerged about how a man died in his garage at East Braxton overnight.
At about 9:30pm the man was taking his Kia 4WD out of the garage of his Harvest Court home.
Police say it appears he decided to roll the vehicle out instead of starting the engine so he wouldn't wake the family, but that's when he somehow got caught behind the vehicle while rolling it out.
Early investigations suggest he then struck his head on a brick wall.
His wife made the shocking discovery at about 11pm when she went to check on him.
Officers from Hunter Valley Local Area Command will prepare a report for the information of the Coroner.
