    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.

      I've heard of this happening before.  Just awful...how horribly tragic for his parents.  What a way for the little guy to go.

      Seriously?  This is an actual thing and they haven't done anything about it?!
