Larry Marek, 53, died after cave-in
(NEWSER) - After nine days, workers yesterday recovered the body of Larry Marek, who was trapped during a cave-in in an Idaho silver mine. Marek and his brother, Mike, had just finished watering down blasted-out rock and ore in the mine on April 15 when the ceiling collapsed in a 6,150-foot-deep tunnel. His brother escaped unharmed. Rescue crews spent days toiling around the clock, digging through debris and working to build a second intersecting tunnel in hopes of reaching him alive, the AP reports.
