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 want a softer cheese, or at least a guarantee the first blow knocks me out.

Hope he had a gouda life insurance policy.
