This is truly tragic, it's of course sad when someone young dies, but three brothers? That's so horrible. Farming can be a dangerous occupation.
On Tuesday, the Wuebker brothers — Todd 31, Brad, 35, and Gary, 37 — were performing maintenance on a pump at their family's St. Henry livestock farm when they were overcome by the fumes and fell into the manure pit, according to Mercer County reports.
According to WHIO-TV7, rescuers found the three men unconscious and unresponsive after their mother called 911 around 12:30 p.m.
First responders — including a dive team — were able to pull them out of the pit after about 20 minutes and they were transported to Mercer Health Hospital where they later died from their injuries.
