In the early 70's liquid manure storage was becoming all the rage for dairy and hog farmers. A lot of em had a local contractor who didn't know about the dangers put em in with a new free stall barn or hog barn. The would put em in under the barn to be built to get way from an expensive pump. Just had some grates in the floor. More than a few farmers went to the barn, opened the door and got hit with the gas. If the fell forward they died and back wards they would live but with damaged lungs. Was really tuff on the families not only to loose a loved one or have em in the hospital but also their source of income with bank loans for a new barn hanging over their heads at the same time. Guy I worked for in early 74 had just put one in. I quit to join the Army, 6 months later he was dead.
I really feel for the wife and surviving daughter.
Every few years here in MN we get someone who drowns when their dog goes through thin ice. I know people get close to a pet but if they are in a manure pit (people have drowned there too), slurry pit one they went through the ice......well you gotta know when to let go.
