Aye Carumba! Pinto Beans Now With Real Latin Flavor

An old Mexican dude was buried alive under several tons of pinto beans. They even had to get inmates from a nearby jail to help dig out the corpse.

From the DailyMail here:

A 56-year-old man was killed when he was buried under a 20-foot mound of pinto beans at a warehouse in eastern Colorado where he worked, police said.

Raymond Segura Jr. was working inside an 80-ft by 160-ft storage silo where beans are sent in bulk via conveyor belt. But it remains unclear how he ended up buried under the massive pile of legumes.

‘We moved several tons of beans to get to him,’ the local sheriff said in a telephone interview.

Dozens of rescue workers and even four inmates from the county jail spent an hour digging through a mound of the legumes to get to the trapped worker.

However, Mr Segura was dead when crews reached him.

What a way to go. Almost as bad as falling into a tortilla press. And this is not the first deadly pile of legumes we have mentioned on this site.
