A Florida landscaper died Monday after police say his entire body went through a wood chipper in what authorities are calling a workplace accident.
When police arrived at the scene Monday afternoon, it was clear the man was already dead, Davie police spokesman Dale Engle told HLN.
The victim, 42-year-old Hernan Gutierrez, apparently fell into the wood chipper while he and two other people were clearing brush near Pine Island Road in Davie.
Investigators told HLN they do not suspect foul play, but added they are investigating the case to determine exactly what happened.
?You hear about this stuff in the movies, but then all of the sudden it happens right outside your door step,? Davie resident Joseph Horta told CNN affiliate WBFS-TV. ?All the sudden I hear all these sirens and I look outside and I see some piles of blood. It was horrifying.?
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration did not immediately return HLN's calls Tuesday. However, Engle says they were present at the scene Monday night.
Officials say they worked late into the night to recover what they could from the chipper and the truck.
"The details are too gory," Engle told HLN when asked to describe the recovery process of the victim's remains.
