One dead in bowling alley accidentA routine bowling alley maintenance call ended in death for a 53 year old man in Fairfield.
Fairfield Police said the worker at Northwest Bowling Alley died when his clothing was entangled in the pin setting machinery.
Though bowlers were playing at the time on other lanes, no one saw or heard the man die, said Fairfield police spokesman Doug Day.
The man's name is not being release pending notification of family.
He had worked at the alley for four years and lived in Southwest Ohio but not in Fairfield.
Police did not know if the man had been crushed or strangled by the machinery.
Another worker at the family-owned alley, which has operated since 1976, found the employee after he did not respond for 10 minutes to another call to fix another bowling lane.
Owners declined to comment other than to say they were "very sad and upset."
The bowling alley, which is in the western part of the Butler County city, is closed for the evening."

While he was there, part of his clothing got caught in the machine, which caused the fatal accident."
