Authorities: Man drowns in manure lagoon
Authorities say a Bluffton man apparently drowned when a skid loader he was operating fell into a manure lagoon in Wells County.
An Indiana conservation officer says 23-year-old Nicholas Cruz had been cleaning out a cattle lot at Sunny Park Dairy and dumping manure into the lagoon Friday morning when he apparently lost control of the skid loader.
A dairy employee found Cruz underneath the skid loader and Wells County firefighters removed him from the lagoon. He was pronounced dead at a hospital in Bluffton.
An autopsy was being conducted at a hospital in Fort Wayne
