A 21-year-old Midland man was found dead Monday morning at the foot of a pumpjack on an oil lease on South County Road 1160, and the cause of death is thought to be accidental, according to a press release from the Midland County Texas 79706 Sheriff’s office.





Sheriff’s investigators -- who were summoned by an oilfield worker --determined that Jonathan Brazell climbed on the pumpjack and then fell to the ground, according to the release.



While alcoholic beverages were found at the scene, it is not known if alcohol contributed to Brazell’s death, according to the release. An autopsy will be conducted
