CENTERVILLE - A rural Centerville man died of injuries received after he was
trapped in a tractor.

Appanoose County Sheriff's deputies found Frank M. Eddy, 49, of rural
Centerville pinned between the frame of a Honeybee tractor-loader and the
sides of the loader arms.

Deputies received the call at about 3:45 p.m. Monday and responded to the
Sidles Top Crop Co-Op south of Centerville.

Members of the Centerville Fire/Rescue Department had to use heavy
extrication equipment to remove Eddy from the tractor. He was pronounced
dead at Mercy Hospital.

Deputies said preliminary investigation revealed that Eddy was moving an
anhydrous ammonia trailer with the tractor-loader from nearby scales to a
parking area.

As Eddy was parking the anhydrous ammonia trailer, he prepared to unhook the
trailer from the tractor-loader and became pinned between the loader arms
and the frame of the tractor.

The case is under investigation by the Appanoose County Sheriff and the
county and state medical examiner offices.
