    BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) – A Buffalo man was killed in a hunting accident in East Otto, according to New York State Police.

    Troopers responded to Plato Road in East Otto to check on the welfare of a hunter. Police said an investigation determined Mark P. Scanlon, 54, went hunting on Plato Road and did not return to his vehicle. Scanlon was found dead in a wooded area after an apparent fall from a portable tree stand. There were no signs of foul play and his body was taken to Olean General Hospital for an autopsy.

    Mark Scanlon was the brother of Buffalo’s interim mayor, Chris Scanlon.

    Acting Mayor Scanlon released the following statement Thursday:

    “On the evening of Wednesday, November 6, 2024, my family suffered the sudden and tragic loss of my brother, Mark, who died while doing one of the things he loved most, hunting. Department and a cherished husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend who was loved by all who knew him, on behalf of my sister-in-law Amanda and the entire family, I ask for your privacy during this very difficult time. “
