    I didn't even know they stored grease underground.  I always figured grease was dumped in a small dumpster that a truck would just come along and dump/siphon off the contents when needed.

    A 3-year-old boy was killed Monday when he fell into a grease trap behind a Tim Hortons in upstate New York, authorities said.

    The child walked over the trap — which resembles a manhole cover and tops the vat where used cooking oil is collected — behind the Tim Hortons in Rochester at about 11 a.m. ET, police said.

    When first responders arrived, the boy had been pulled out and was on his back with an adult performing CPR, police said.

    The child was rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at noon.

    "Our hearts go out to the family of this child who had to suffer this unimaginable tragedy," Rochester police Investigator Rick Camp said.

    Police are investigating how the lid had come loose, allowing the child to fall in.

    A rep for Tim Hortons could not be immediately reached for comment Monday.

      How do other fast food type joints store the cooking oil?

      @SabreFan1 Most of the grease traps are located underground, but they are covered by manhole type of covers. I have no idea how would someone remove the cover unless company that services it left it open. Regardless of how it happened, terrible tragedy.
