Man dies after falling into sewage drain.

What a shitty way to go.

An elderly man cleaning a sewage drain died after falling into the drain and getting stuck in the sludge.

Luigi Cerrone was cleaning the drain on some property he owned in the Flushing section of Queens on Saturday.

Police said the 83-year-old slipped down the drain and got stuck with his face in the muck.

Emergency responders got to the scene shortly before 5 p.m., but Cerrone had already died.

From here.
