Verily, in article <110vg6c$2950k$1@dont-email.me>, did
YourName@YourISP.com deliver unto us this message:

While it was difficult to determine the exact cause of the oak's
demise, the RSPB said a combination of issues - including years
of "well-intentioned structural intervention and huge amounts of
human activity" around the tree - were thought to be "major
contributors".

So, in other words, we fooled around with it until we killed it? I have
no problem at all believing this.

Yep, that pretty much sums up all of human interaction with the natural
world. :-(

And there are still morons who want to keep mucking about with the
natural world, such as bringing back extinct mammoths, etc. Humans are
the least intelligent species on the planet. :-\
