The body of a man was found this morning in a grain silo on a farm off the R555 outside of Springs.
ER24 paramedics, along with the fire services, were called to the scene at approximately 09H15, and were lead to the silos.
Upon inspection, paramedics found that some of the workers had already begun to empty the silo of grain, where the man lay trapped.
Paramedics, fire services, and farm workers labored for a few hours in an attempt to empty the silo and gain access to the patient.
After some time, paramedics and rescue workers managed to free the man. Unfortunately, the man had already succumbed to his injuries. Nothing more could be done for him and he was declared dead.
The details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
