The Bastrop County Police in Texas, United States, reported: found three hunters and a dog dead in an underground cistern in a cornfield.
“Initial reports indicated that a hunting party of three men and one woman ended up in a cornfield. one of his dogs fell into the cistern“, as reported on the Facebook account of this county’s police force. “One of the members fell into the cistern, presumably trying to save the dog,” they explained, and “apparently two other members of the group broke in. While the tanker probably went to rescue the first person, a fourth member of the group went to his truck to seek help and call 911.”
At that time the water level of the cistern was “well below the small opening” at ground level. prevented anyone from goingresulted in. death two men and a woman and a dog, all from the state of Florida..
When the first rescuers arrived, they had trouble reaching the bodies because the cistern was full of steam and stagnant water and its structure was unstable. Therefore they had to aerate to remove the hydrogen sulfide gas and then the water was removed. However, the structural problem was still there, so they made the first attempt to dig next to the structure to allow side access, but they decided not to do it because this weakens the walls and entry is difficult, unsafe. To solve this, they placed a small drone inside the cistern to verify the integrity of the walls, and with this knowledge a person was able to go down to retrieve the bodies.
