Three brothers in western Ohio died after getting trapped in a manure pit as they worked on a pump at their livestock farm, authorities said.

Brad Wuebker, 35, Todd Wuebker, 31, and Gary Wuebker, 37, died Tuesday at hospitals after rescue crews responded to their family farm in St. Henry and found them under water in the pit and requested a dive team, WHIO reported.

“My son passed out,” a woman told dispatchers. “He was doing something with the pit.”

Who says farming is not a dangerous occupation? But this is a pretty shitty way to die. At least they had family for company as they passed.
