A D&J Construction worker was found dead after his track hoe got caught in a sinkhole off Louisiana 3033. The body of Kenny Robinson, 53, of West Monroe, was found around 5:30 p.m. Monday, but responders were not able to recover the body until 4 a.m. Tuesday. Maj. James Purvis of the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office said Robinson was building access roads into the sand pits at 629 Louisiana 3033, West Monroe, when his track hoe became caught in a sinkhole. Purvis said the equipment, with Robinson trapped inside, was almost completely buried. The incident is still under investigation. RIP Kenny Robinson...

    I agree, that's one of the worst ways to die I can think of. Atleast it was doing something he likes to do. May he rest in peace...
