An inquest into the death of forestry worker Robert Epapara has resumed in Rotorua today.
The inquest is the fifth of eight forestry deaths during 2012 and 2013 Coroner Dr Wallace Bain is investigating.
Mr Epapara died after being struck by a tree on March 26, 2013.
Fletcher Pilditch, assisting the coroner, said the court would hear from a number of witnesses, investigators and two police officers today and tomorrow.
"This is one of a number of inquests conducted since early last year, in fact it's the fifth out of eight to resume to a full hearing after opening in April last year."
