LONOKE County, AR - Police say a farm worker died after falling into a grain bin around 11:00 am Friday.

According to a release, officials from the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office received a call reporting that a man had fallen into a grain silo at Parker's Farms, located on Miller Road in Lonoke. Witnesses say the victim, later identified of 56-year-old Jacques Parker of Carlisle, was on top of what farmers refer to as "The Bridge," which is a dome of grain above an empty space.
