21 year old dies at family farm

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A 21-year-old York man has died after he was caught in a piece of grain-bin machinery on his family’s farm.

Local media reports that Tyler Grotz died on Tuesday.

York Fire Chief Kevin Stuhr says Grotz got caught in a sweep auger while getting grain out of a bin. Rescue workers were dispatched to the family farm southwest of York just before 8 p.m., but Grotz was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members have scheduled a visitation from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday. Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday on the main floor of the York City Auditorium.
