Drama in Neuhofen an der Krems (Upper Austria): Because a father (70) did not return from his agricultural work as usual on Wednesday, his wife (64) and their sons went looking for him. The fire brigade eventually found him dead in a wood chip heater.
First, his wife (64) and his sons went looking for the 70-year-old farmer in Neuhofen an der Krems, who had not returned from work on Wednesday evening. After they couldn’t find him, they called emergency services because his vehicles and cell phone were also at home, but the missing person was not.
In the days before the accident, the wood chip stove had broken down, so the search for the 70-year-old quickly focused on the area around the factory. A hole was found in the wood chips under which the screw conveyor is located.
Fell into a hole
Because it was suspected that the farmer may have fallen into the hole, the fire brigade was also alerted. The Florianis pushed the wood chips aside. The 70-year-old was underneath, at a depth of two to eight feet. All help came too late for him.
According to the police, the farmer and family man may have tried to loosen the pile of wood chips with an iron bar. It probably fell into the hole and was covered in wood chips.
