    He died from blunt force. This was because the cheese was not very sharp. I’d crumble under that weight too.

    An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of wheels of a Parmesan-style cheese, authorities said.

    Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the Lombardy region on Sunday, firefighter Antonion Dusi told AFP.

    The collapse created a domino effect bringing down thousands of wheels, which weigh about 40kg (84lbs) each.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of wheels of a Parmesan-style cheese, authorities said.

    Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the Lombardy region on Sunday, firefighter Antonion Dusi told AFP.

    The collapse created a domino effect bringing down thousands of wheels, which weigh about 40kg (84lbs) each.

    Some of the wheels reportedly fell about 10m (33ft) and a local resident told Italian media the collapse sounded “like thunder”.

    Speaking to Italian media, a neighbour described Mr Chiapparini as “very supportive… and generous”.

    The warehouse, located in Romano di Lombardia, about 50km (31 miles) east of Milan, contained a total of 25,000 wheels of Grana Padano, a hard cheese which resembles Parmesan and is popular in Italy.
