Burton Police Detective Don Schreiber tells The Flint Journal that 33-year-old Curtis Duane Hollingshead of Davisson died at a hospital Tuesday after the trench he was working in rapidly filled with water when a valve on a water main disconnected.
Police have said other workers were able to snag Hollingshead with a pole and pull him from the water. Medical personnel then were able to re-establish a pulse.
The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration sent representatives to the scene.
