At around 11:30 am on the 20th, a rescue 119 report came in saying that a person was caught in a machine at a flower farm in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. 



Rescue teams were dispatched and 20-year-old college student A was taken to the hospital, but eventually died. 



In front of the farm where the accident occurred. 



At that time, it was confirmed that University student A, who was practicing here, had an accident while handling a machine that mixes fertilizer and soil. 



According to the police, the machine, called the soil mixer, is 2m and 1m in width and 1m in length, and 1.4m in height, respectively. 



Police believe that the accident was caused by pouring fertilizers, etc. into the machine and falling over. 



At the time, there were about a dozen other students on the farm, including other practical college students, but they could not prevent the accident. 



[Farm official: (I came out because of an accident that happened here yesterday.) What are you covering?

I have nothing to investigate.

Group A, a student at the Korea University of Agriculture and Fisheries 



, a national university, started working on the farm in March to complete field training, a mandatory course, but just 10 days before the end of the training session, he suffered a bowel movement. 



I worked according to the instructions of the farm owner who was appointed by the university as a 'field professor', but I was not paid because I was a practical university student. 



[Korea University of Agriculture and Fisheries Official: I am trying to help the bereaved.

We're trying to figure out the funeral process and some kind of insurance relationship.] The 



police are investigating whether safety measures have been implemented properly while investigating the cause of the accident against farm officials. 



In addition, to reveal the exact cause of death, an autopsy was requested from the National Forensic Service.
