The child was reported missing from the garden of his home in Northcliffe Road in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, at about 1035 BST.

    Missing man crushed to death in NY trash compactor

    “A maintenance man at a prominent western New York office building was crushed to death after falling into a trash compactor, but no one realized it for weeks as his family and authorities searched for him, police said Sunday.”

    I don’t think incidents like these disprove or prove there is a God in the universe. It does confirm there are eternal mysteries. Some of them most tragic and baffling. HOW these accidents happen are mind boggling.
