Officials say he suffered 'multiple traumatic injuries'.

A GoFundMe account has since been set up to help raise money for funeral expenses.
As of Monday afternoon, the campaign had raised more than $7,000.
'Losing your child to a tragic accident is horrible enough. Adding that there is no insurance to cover funeral costs makes matters worse. Please help us raise the money to cover these costs. My sister is a single parent, and cannot afford the cost of burying her child,' Tonya Kirby Evans, the woman who started the GoFundMe page, wrote.
Do you enjoy reading about horrible stuff like this?
You don't need to come into this thread though. It was your choice. And yes I read and post some unusual stories. Others may want to read it. Or they can skip it.
Yes this is so tragic and unusual. I also posted his GoFundMe page if anyone here wants to help out. Poor young guy.

You do realize that your threads get closed for a reason, right? They're not allowed. Stop stop it.
This is truly awful. I can't even begin to imagine his pain near the time of his death, as well as his family's post his death. What a horrible way to die. I hope when I die, it's not like this. I want it to be painless.
Poor young guy.
The name alone tells a lot.
