Man Crushed by Rock While Sleeping in Loading Truck

The Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) - A 36-year-old man died after a load of crushed rock was poured on him as he slept in the back of a dump truck, police said.

The body of Carlos Jose Masis was found in the pile of crushed rock after it had been delivered to a Miramar construction site. The medical examiner's report listed the cause of death as mechanical asphyxiation, Miami-Dade police said.

The load had originated from a quarry in Miami-Dade County.

According to police, Masis had a drug and alcohol problem and apparently climbed into the back of the truck to sleep. Workers didn't notice him before pouring in the rock.

Foul play is not suspected, police said.
