GRANT COUNTY, Ind. - A man mowing grass in Grant County was found dead after his tractor fell into a farm pond. The man, who was not identified, was mowing a piece of land near the pond Wednesday night when his tractor got too close to the edge, conservation officers said.
After the man didn't return home that night, family members searched the property but couldn't find him, so they called police.
Conservation officers found tractor tracks over a steep bank down to the farm pond. A Department of Natural Resources diver found the man's body in the pond.

Golly, if only the federal government would mandate breathalyzer lock-outs for lawnmowers this tragedy could have been averted. Come to think of it, I got a nasty pinch one time using a can opener. At work, no less. Where was OSHA?
