Investigation Summary
On January 20, 1993, Employee #1 was attempting to clear a clog when he slipped and became intertwined with the power auger of a Gehl manure spreader, resulting in massive internal injuries. A neighbor had observed the tractor running without moving for approximately 1/2 hour before he went to check on it. The neighbor called 911 at 8:10 a.m. Employee #1 was already dead when the rescue squad arrived and it immediately notified the coroner.
