PRAGUE (Reuters) - A Czech tractor driver died under eight tons of manure in a bizarre accident that has baffled his employers, local media reported.
The 34-year old man, identified only as Martin T, suffocated after the load fell on him while he was dumping it in a field near the western Czech city of Karlovy Vary, news Web Site www.novinky.cz reported Sunday. "It absolutely beats me how this could happen," said Vladimir Erps, chief of the company employing the victim.
"The truck is operated from the tractor cabin, using hydraulics. There was nothing for him to do under the truck, but it's tough to blame him now that he is dead," the news site quoted him as saying.
Police are investigating the death as a work-related accident.

Something stinks about this. They're clearly trying to say its the operator's error -- but I think that's a bunch of horsesh*t.

'Police are investigating the death as a work-related accident.'
They also indicated he was too pooped to talk.

There once was a farmer named Clyde,
Who fell through the outhouse and died.
While looking for him,
His wife too fell in,
And now they're in-turd side by side

This happens to me everyday...except I haven't died yet.

Sounds like a botched suicide attempt. He was trying to run himself over with the truck.
To: Borges
I hear that last night during a fight, his wife had told him to "eat sh1t and die."
That's a really tough way to go.
