AURORA, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have recovered the body of a man from a grain bin full of corn in Aurora in northeast Iowa.

Employees at the Aurora Elevator reported 54-year-old Paul Nurre, of Strawberry Point, missing Wednesday afternoon. He was last seen working in a grain bin.

Firefighters and employees spent several hours removing corn from the bin and recovered Nurre's body late Wednesday.

Owner David Young says Nurre worked for the company for about 30 years.
