I've had trees collapse on their own in dwarf mode. With no one around.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If a tree kills alone in the forest, does it make a sound?

In this case, yes, it recentered on my map, and paused the game. Then Soundsense started making noise on unpause.

It's the elves finally taking their revenge on us for chopping down all those trees.  Their weapons and armor are worthless, so they just convinced all the trees to commit suicide and take out as many dwarves as possible  .

On a serious note, does this happen completely at random, or just when you dig up the roots?  I haven't tried 40.04 yet, but in 40.03 trees would collapse if you dug up the roots on the Z level below.  If this is the case, you might be able to avoid treemurder by chopping down the trees before mining underneath them.

Either that, or just dedicate your fort to chopping down all trees, all the time.  Kill all the trees.  And the elves.  Elves make the trees grow faster.

Sounds to me like the trees are taking revenge on us for chopping down all those elves.

If a tree kills alone in the fells a forest, does it make a sound?

Sounds better.

But yes, it's been reported a few different times, specifically here:
