Two men died after falling into a manure chute on a farm in Schleswig-Holstein. The bodies were recovered after a rescue operation on the farm in Bohmstedt late on Thursday evening.

Relatives quickly noticed the accident, but were unable to free the two men from the shaft. The investigation into the circumstances of the death was ongoing. Just at the beginning of March, a six-year-old fell into the manure pit on a family farm in the Nordfriesland district and died.
