The incident occurred just after 11 a.m. Tuesday at a farming operation when Garcia tried to dislodge a portion of corn that was stuck inside the 80,000-bushel-capacity grain bin, which was partially full.

While he was in the bin, a large amount of corn collapsed on top of him, witnesses told the sheriff's office.
