Sheboygan Man Drowns In Sewer
By Staff
Jun 7, 2007
A 41-year-old man drowned in Sheboygan, Wis., while trying to retrieve his cell phone from a storm sewer.
Lt. Tim Eirich of the Sheboygan Police Department said the man, who weighed more than 300 pounds, was wedged in the storm drain with his head and shoulders under water, said the Sheboygan Press Thursday.
He was unconscious when he was pulled out of the drain and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center.
Police said the deceased man's name is being withheld until his relatives are notified.
Neighbor Chris Van Erem and a local child were the first people on the scene to try and rescue the man, but his weight proved too much for them and they called 911.
"I could see his head and his shoulders were completely under the water," van Erem said. "His legs weren't moving. He was completely unresponsive."
Sheboygan County Coroner David Leffin has ruled the man's death an accident.

I'm laughing too, picturing a big 300lb man laying down in the street with his head inserted into a sewer.
I'm not laughing because he died, but what was he thinking? Damn. If you drop your phone in the water like that, it's toast! I wouldn't go apple bobbing for a fried piece of electronics...especially in sewer water. Gross.
