Extremely rare weather phenomenon

According to Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman, the accident was the result of an extremely rare weather phenomenon. When the manure holding tank was prepped for emptying, warm upper air temperatures trapped a lethal concentration of gases — likely methane or hydrogen sulfide — in a dome over the area.

The atmospheric pressure prevented the gases from dissipating, creating a deadly situation in an open space, something highly unusual for gas poisoning cases.

His family was naturally deeply shocked when they received the tragic news.

Bob Biadasz sat in the house, sipping his coffee, when the phone rang. On the other end, a friend delivered the heartbreaking news — Mike, his son, business partner, and the fourth-generation heir to their family legacy, was gone.
