Boy Suffocates In Shelled Corn Near Cedar Rapids
A 14 year old rural Cedar Rapids boy, Michael Paul Carson, died after being buried under shelled corn in a barn chute at the Godfrey Jendrich farm, about 1½ miles south of Highway 20 on Old Highway 218. The other boy, 17 year old John Carson, fled the barn when corn jammed. Michael reportedly stood on a board above the chute, which broke and sent him into an eight foot deep pile. He was taken to St Luke's hospital and pronounced dead.
