Since the TL;DR bot doesn’t mention this: one wheel of Grana Padano weighs something like 40 kg

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A total of 25,000 wheels of Grana Padano cheese fell on 75-year-old Giacomo Chiapparini after a shelf broke in his warehouse on Sunday.

An Italian man was crushed to death when thousands of wheels of ripening Grana Padano - a type of hard cheese which rivals the famous Parmigiano Reggiano - fell on him in his warehouse on Sunday.

These warehouses are normally stacked to the rooftop with thousands of cheese wheels, which remain there for months before reaching the right level of maturity.

Emergency services worked through the night to rescue the man, but the hope of finding him alive waned as the hours passed.

Local police have launched an investigation into the accident, trying to understand what led to the shelf’s collapse and Chiapparini’s death.

When the region of Emilia Romagna suffered a devastating earthquake in 2012, Chiapparini offered his colleagues to store their cheese wheels in his facilities after they lost theirs to the catastrophic weather event.

I’m a bot and I’m open source!

This is how i want to go too

Sheogorath strikes again

I bet the doctor who told him he should cut back cheese if he wants to live long feels real smug right now.

Death by cheese got real!

Ironically, he was also lactose intolerant. /s

How can 25000 wheels of cheese weighing 40kg each fall in one place
