A 51-year-old man died Monday morning after what authorities say may have been an accidental hanging at a water storage and pump station south of Keenseburg.

Emergency crews including the Weld County Sheriff's Office were called around 10 a.m. to the oil and gas-related operation near the intersection of Weld County roads 40 and 57 on a report of a man who was not breathing, said Shane Scofield, a spokesman with the sheriff's office.

Authorities responded and found a man who was not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
