MURRAY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a farm worker from Union County has died after entering a grain bin in southern Iowa. Authorities say 39-year old Eric Reasland, of Creston, was pulled out of the bin around noon after being buried inside for more than three hours. The accident happened near an Iowa Select Farms facility in Murray. Clarke County Sheriff Bill Kerns says Reasland entered the bin Wednesday morning as he and the farm owner were trying to break up a crust that had formed on soybeans inside. The farm owner checked on the man about 10 minutes later and couldn’t see him.
Crews from at least five four departments responded to the bin near Murray, and Kerns says rescuers cut a number of holes into the structure to extract grain while they tried to reach the man. They reached his body at around noon, and tried to revive him but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the Clarke County Hospital.
The accident remains under investigation.
