BALATON, Minn. — Authorities in southwestern Minnesota are investigating a grain bin death earlier this week. According to the Murray County Sheriff's Office, officials received a report on Tuesday afternoon of a man trapped in a grain bin in rural Balaton. "Reports at the scene indicated the party was completely submerged in grain and they were unable to locate him," the sheriff's office said in a release. Multiple agencies were dispatched to the scene and the victim, 48-year-old Bruce Larson, was extricated from the grain bin, officials said. Despite life-saving measures, Larson was pronounced dead at the scene.
