A man was found dead Saturday in a grain bin at Baucom Services in Monroe, according to the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Co-workers were unable to rescue a man who fell in a grain bin late Saturday morning and suffocated, Union County Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Rollins said.
The apparent job-related accident happened at Baucom Services, a repair shop for trucks, trailers and related equipment at 9611 Morgan Mill Rd. in Union County, Rollins said.
“It’s a repair shop, but he’s a big farmer and has got grain bins there,” he said. “We were told the gentlemen fell somehow into the grain bin and the others working there weren’t able to rescue him in time. By the time the call came in, he had already become entrapped in the grain bin.”
