Antelope County deputies and the Nebraska State Patrol were sent around 5:50 p.m. Monday to the farm, which sits about 5 miles (8 kilometers) northwest of Clearwater. The Norfolk Daily News reports that the injured man they found was taken to Antelope Memorial Hospital in Neligh (NEE’-lee). He died there.
Authorities say he’d been using an auger in a grain bin.
The man’s been identified as 52-year-old Robert Pokorny.
