Bodies of 2 men recovered after Shoreline trench collapse | The Seattle Times

UPDATE: (Per the Seattle Times) The owner, David Ameh, 66, and Demetrius Sellers, 32, a worker, died from suffocation during the collapse, which occurred as they tried to replace a damaged sewer connection, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office announced.

Please be thoughtful of our crews. They are human beings with families.

RIP to the two people and their families.
