Morbid Knowledge → @Morbidful On November 24, 2009, a man named John Edward Jones became stuck and subsequently died in the Nutty Putty cave after being trapped inside for 28 hours. While exploring with his brother Josh, Jones mistook a narrow tunnel for the similarly tight "Birth Canal" passageway and became stuck upside- down in an area measuring 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm), around 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance. Jones was held in place like a hook, unable to move without causing serious harm due to the bends his body was placed in. A large team of rescue workers came to his assistance. Still, they were unable to retrieve Jones using a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system after a pulley failed mid-extrication. Jones ultimately suffered cardiac arrest due to the strain placed upon his body over several hours by his inverted, compressed position. Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access. 12:36 PM - Jul 4, 2023 6.9M Views
