Seems an apropriate useage until and unless it becomes clear that is what indeed happened. Maybe he lost control, causing the wood to fall, maybe it fell for some other reason. Maybe he was sitting still and the wood fell over because it wasn't secured properly.

Not right to pin the blame for killing someone, even accidently, if you don't know all the facts.
The online article uses the term "apparently"... broadcast said "allegedly" and it was different on other stations...
