thanks for comment, husband was curious as to what had caused it, the woods look great any time of the year with the changing seasons.

Could be that a bracket fungus had severely weakened the tree, Beech are susceptible to this type of fungus in old age. You would need to look at the base to be sure. If it is a bracket fungus, then it should be clearly visible
