A good deed leaves him dead

There are worse ways to die - drowning and being burned come to mind - but being run over by a disc has to rank right up there. Discs are metal blades meant to break up hard topsoil.

Sadly, a Palo man was helping a friend by discing his field and somehow fell off the tractor. He was run over by the disc. The tractor went for three miles before it finally stopped and the man died at the hospital.

This is one where I would have preferred to read he died instantly.
