Grain Bin Death

UPDATE: Authorities say it was 68 year old Rand Eugene Renner of Waverly who died.

Authorities say a worker has died after being caught in a grain bin in Waterloo.

Crews were called to an East Central Iowa Co-Op elevator about 11:30 a.m. Monday on a report of a worker who was trapped in soybeans.

Firefighters cut holes in the bin and co-op employees used a vacuum to drain the bin as emergency crews entered the elevator to reach the man. Despite the efforts, the man was declared dead at the scene.
