The 23 Most Ridiculous Deaths of 2012

9 Three Drown in Manure Filled Septic Pit

What a sh*tty way to die. Literally.

Glen Nolt and his two sons, Kelvin and Cleason, were out seeking to procure some fertilizer for their farm when their mission ran afoul at the site of giant manure pit on a Maryland dairy farm. It’s unclear exactly what happened, but the story that was pieced together in the aftermath goes something like this:

The men were out to suck some manure from this pit for their own pit. When one of the three was setting a pumping device in the giant vat, he unexpectedly fell in. The other two rushed to the rescue, became trapped in the vat themselves, and were unable to escape. The three drowned a giant vat of poop. No sh*t, true story. This actually happened.

So next time you’re having a crappy day, you can think how much better you have it than the Nolts.
