His brother Lop, 55, reckoned he had probable been helping to straighten some fallen cane and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

 

He said they wouldn't be pressing charges. 

 

The sugar company would be in contact, said a foreman, to talk about compensation.

Don't know how this thing works but obviously some kind of "Health & Safety" review is needed to reduce the possibility of this happening again.

Best not to dwell just get straight to the compensation by the look of it ????Rip

Not the best choice of words

Farm machinery is super dangerous. When I was a kid, one friend lost half his arm to a combine, and another friend was sucked into a silo auger and died. I fell off a trailer baling hay, and was nearly crushed. Another time I was nearly tossed under a brush hog when the tractor unexpectedly tipped climbing over a hidden stump. I do hope the company is generous with the compensation.

It's just Asean Now's "writers" embellishment and distortion!     Those are just AN's choice of words, not the original reporter's.  Neither did the report state that "the factory was talking about compensation" as the OP says; what was actually reported was that "the factory was initially ready to help with funeral matters".

Think some common sense is needed, don't get in front of a harvester machine. Darwin's law RIP.

One Can't get Sucked into a cane harvester ,There's No suction on the cane Harvester They only way that one can get killed is that one is in front of the Cutter blades and augers . No one with a brain is going to get in front  and get Gobbled up in that.

Why was he there ? No one suppose to be there in front of the harvester didn't the operator see him?

no, he wasn't, because it's impossible because the machine doesn't use suction to harvest the cane.

What a terrible way to die, poor bu.ger RIP.
