Notes:

An Exeter man died early Tuesday after apparently being shocked by the power cord of a grain auger, according to Fillmore County Sheriff William Burgess.

Investigators believe Jay Luzum, 45, was using a grain auger to transfer grain from a bin into a truck when the auger malfunctioned. Luzum tried to unplug the auger's power cord and was shocked, Burgess said in a release.

The incident happened at about 6:30 a.m. on a farm near Milligan, about six miles south of Exeter in eastern Fillmore County.
