From the way the article reads, and they don't give you much..

It sounds like it was one of those..... "Hey... Where's Bob??... *walks over to shredder*.... oh sh!t" type of situations...

No one think it's homicide?

Generally, machines capable of ripping large trees to pieces should be treated with considerable respect. Complacency around power equipment is very dangerous. Hell, a Dremel can jump when you're slicing metal, and it can grind away at your hand before you can react.

It's the feeling, or rather knowing that you're most certainly about to die that most would want to avoid.

Going feet first would be akin to dying in a fire or drowning..... Some people might pass out, but most would be alive and very conscious well into their torso.....

Think about it. You could get cut in half at your stomach and still be fine as far as heart and brain go. Of course you would pass out from vascular system pressure loss quickly afterwards, but still... Those would most certainly be the longest seconds of your life.

i saw a FoD video where a guy got caught between a subway car and the platform. he was basically cut in half at the waste, but didn't die because everything was pinched off by the car. they brought his family to say goodbye, then moved the car, and he died. sad.

Sounds like a M. Knight movie.
 
I can easily think of a more horrific way to die: getting beheaded by those resistance groups. Have you guys ever seen any of the videos? They don't just chop your head off in one go (even that takes a few seconds to kill you). They use a small knife and saw your head off, literally.

I dont believe it
 
Ya, thats sad, but once again, balances the world from ignorance.

Doesnt sound like too bad of a way to die.

since no one was around, could have been suicide, considering that was his job...

Or like someone said homicide...

Still that's gross, and yes I do feel sorry for the family and friends "How did your uncle die?" "You dont wanna know"

And the clean up crew has to take care of it.....
