Two Men Die In Septic Tank at Devil's Tower

Two businessmen have died, apparently after falling into a septic tank in northeast Wyoming authorities say. Crook County Sheriff Steve Stahla said the bodies of 49-year-old Matt Driskill of Devils Tower and 60-year old Chuck Hanes of Belle Fourche, S.D., were pulled from the septic tank at the Devils Tower KOA Campground late Wednesday afternoon. Driskill was the owner of the KOA. Hanes was owner of Tri-State Septic Service of Belle Fourche. Stahla said the deaths appear to be an accident, but autopsies will be done to determine an exact cause of death for each. The campground is located just outside the gate of Devils Tower National Monument. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is launching its own investigation. Services are pending for both men.
