Man Dies Trying To Retrieve Cell Phone From Sewer

(CBS) SHEBOYGAN, Wis. A 41-year-old Sheboygan man drowned Wednesday after getting stuck in a storm sewer trying to retrieve a cell phone, police said.

The man, who police declined to identify pending notification of relatives, weighed more that 300 pounds and was wedged with his head and shoulders underwater in a vertical storm drain in front of his home, said Lt. Tim Eirich of the Sheboygan Police Department.

The accident came a day before the National Safety Council issued a report saying the accidental death rate in the U.S. has been creeping higher and is up 12 percent compared to the lowest rate on record, in 1992.

Neighbor Chris Van Erem said he saw the man kneeling over the sewer before he fell in. Police said the man pulled the iron gate off trying to get the cell phone.

"I didn't know if he had dropped something or what," said Van Erem, who was mowing his lawn at the time. "So I went about my business and moved back to a spot where I was further back in the yard."

Moments later, a child from the neighborhood ran toward Van Erem frantically.

"When I shut off the lawnmower and looked up, I saw the neighbor's feet sticking up out of the grate, and I ran over and tried to pull him on out," Van Erem said. "Absolutely helpless was the feeling. I couldn't budge him."

Van Erem had the child call 911 as he continued to try to free the man, but he was unsuccessful.

wow... you know your fat when you get stuck in one of those.

I also like how the accidental death rate has been increasing, yet everything is being made "safer" in the states. People are just getting stupider and stupider.
I'm feeling nice :) right now..

yeah ... would have given it to one of my father's co-worker died, about 3 years ago ... dumb guy was doing repairs on his car by himself. He went under the car to fix a little hole in his gaz tank. The car blew up over him after he tried to patch the almost full tank using a blowtorch.

Can you spell "genius" ?
I'm feeling wikid ! right now..
