Man dies in a grain bin full of corn. Apparently went in to dislodge corn, was sucked in. A message of caution to all of us - grain bins can be killers. See Link:

Sad story, happens all too frequently. We all seem to forget that farming is one of the most dangerous occupations. By the way, I"m in southern Michigan, down near Coldwater.

Ray,
Got me to thinking about safety. My youngest son workes full time at this elevator here in lower Michigan about a couple mile from the Ohio line.
I will show him your ad you posted. Take Care, Mike

Very sad.

This happened a few years back on the farm that buts up to me (outside of Flint Mi).

Youngest brother on the farm is still struggling with the whole issue. Rescue crews just about had to hand cuff him while they were recovering his brother.

Man that is sad, seen my grandpa do things that could have ended the same way. Reminds me of the guy a few years back up by Cadillac that went in the top of a harvestore to fix the airbag and was immediately overcome by gases. He didn't even know what hit him. Curious what part of Michigan you are in Ray, just 15 miles north of GR here.
