Sounds like an American version of a Junji Ito short story.

There's a very good chance they get sued and lose. It just depends on if there is a statute of limitations for wrongful death in the state.

Edit: Looks like the Statute of Limitations is only two years in Iowa for wrongful death.

You think they did deep cleans on any kind of regular basis?

I really don't know what the regulations are on this. Chances are it was cheaper to only do it when caught.

I wonder if heat from the compressors and the like dried the body out quicker? It's possible the stores ventilation did its job and pulled any smell away to outside. If people were upwind would they even smell a body?

Just imagine what must have been going through his mind. The terror of knowing that you can't escape, that no one realises you're there, etc.

upset and ran away from him parents?

sounds like he was just trying to.....cool off

 

[Nymphae]

No Frills exists in the states? AFAIK it's a Canadian grocery store chain.

I can't imagine how hellish that was if he somehow survived the fall and was just stuck back there until he died. Reminds me of the same uncomfortable feeling I got about the Nutty Putty cave incident.

Yeah, generally I wouldn't say I'm claustrophobic, but reading about this (in more detail on other sites) made me feel terribly so. I couldn't breathe just placing myself in this poor guys shoes. What a nightmare.

That spot is literally the mans grave. I was wondering if they had gotten his body out, apparently not. They sealed up the opening, something I expected them to do even if they managed to save him.

i never understood the john jones cave rescue, they could have just ripped him out and broken his legs but they chose not to because the shock might have killed him

guess what mother fuckers, he's dead now

Definitely don't read the wikipedia entry on this. It's heartbreaking.

A girl got murdered
NOBODY MAKE JOKES
A dude died horribly
LOL COOL

Feminists!

I'll take your word for it. I must have too much empathy because I am freaked out just thinking about the whole situation.

I just read this article. Goodness.

You never know what will be your undoing, but going down head-first into an incredibly tight spot in an un-mapped section of a cave would just be too risky imo. I love adventure and pushing boundaries, but I think it's always best to have a little foresight and proper caution while you're having your fun.

 

[J-Roderton]

nvm. didn't read.

 

[choco-fish]

In all seriousness what a horrible horrible way to go,

 

[Ownage]

Cut as many farts as you can to get ppl looking.

 

[Kadayi]

Damn, that is a nasty death. Just lodged there until you die of dehydration (takes about 3 days...). I've heard of some bad deaths before *, but that's definitely up there. Also, fuck anything to do with caves or cave diving. You couldn't pay me enough money to even remotely do any of that shit. I think you've legitimately got to have a deathwish to engage in anything as outright treacherous as that as a hobby. Even the thought of crawling between boulders makes me queasy...

There's no regulation saying "X task must be done on Y timeline." Laws governing cleanliness in stores are written as "the store has to be clean, X% of surfaces must be free of harmful bacteria when tested," if they even get that specific. If people aren't getting sick and a store isn't visibly dirty no inspector is going to go out of their way to find problems.

Exactly, I used to have to do quality inspections over a number of sites weekly. I was under resourced, paid shit and the sites were far apart. A cursory glance was all that was required so I could fill I. The form to say the site had been inspected. As long at the site wasn't completely obviously terrible there was no benefit or time for me to drill down until I found something. I wasn't getting paid any overtime to do that.
The exception to that rule tends to be fire safety officers as the just check equipment and fire exits and inspection documents, it's a lot easier and worse if There is a fire compared to sub standard products or some food poisoning.

No smell from the rotted corpse??

Jesus I was up in the roof the other day and I got claustrophobia. Can't imagine this for one second. I'd instantly go insane and gouge my own eyes out.

 

[Scopa]

In that case, it doesn't really smell, but has an sour meaty smell.

That, and being dragged to the bottom of the ocean with weight strapped to your feet.

 

[navii]

That Cave story is scary. I walked through some ice crevices in a glacier and the thought that at any moment the thing can move and squish me like a grape terrified me and that was a fairly tame touristy activity. One of the tour guides said he gets nightmares that he falls down a crevice.

2.3 stars, oof.

Don't worry, you'd drown long before you hit the bottom.

 

[davepoobond]

It must not have smelled for very long or maybe the refrigeration preserved him better somehow so it wasn’t as pungent as you’d think

2.3 stars, oof.
