On April 29, 2022, two brothers died when the 10-foot-deep trench they were working in collapsed. The cave-in was discovered only after the homeowner arrived to check the progress of a barn construction project near Grand Rapids, MI.

Emergency responders needed several hours to recover the bodies of the two men, both of whom worked for their family’s company.

The two deaths were among the 39 caused by full/partial trench or excavation cave-ins in 2022, according to OSHA, and they marked a sobering increase from the 15 recorded in 2021.
