The man (...) was putting a tarp over a cotton module builder, said Lt. Kenny King of Decatur County Fire and Rescue. Cotton module builders are machines used to pack cotton bolls together into large rectangle bundles. The tarp got caught on a lever on the machine, the lever was depressed and the machine then packed him into cotton already inside the cage-like module builder. (...) When rescue workers arrived, they saw Eguia laying face-down in the machine. He was bleeding from his ears and mouth.
It's tragic. Accidents with heavy machinery can happen in a heartbeat. Our prayers go out to him.
