Long Island Cemetery Worker Killed When Grave Collapses on Him
A cemetery worker on Long Island was killed Thursday when the sides of a grave collapsed on him as he was leveling the bottom. The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. at Washington Memorial Park located on Canal Road in Mount Sanai, ABC 7 reported . Moments after Rodwin Allicock was buried in the more than seven-foot deep hole, his coworkers tried to dig him out but were unsuccessful. “Allicock, 42, of Coram, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Center,” a press release from Suffolk County police read: Officers from the Suffolk County Police Emergency Service Section as well as Suffolk County Fire Rescue coordinators, representatives from the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, and members of the Middle Island Fire Department, Hagerman Fire Department, Selden Fire Department and Setauket Fire Department responded to the scene. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was notified and is investigating. Washington Memorial Park has served families in the Long Island and New York metropolitan area for more than half a century, according to its website. Following the accident, one of the victim’s colleagues reportedly shared a tribute to him on Facebook, according to People . “Sleep in peace Rodwin Allicock,” the person wrote. “You was a great coworker and a great guy!” According to the outlet, the victim had just celebrated his birthday in January.

close Video Fox News Flash top entertainment headlines for February 11 Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here. Check out what's clicking today in entertainment. LOS ANGELES — Burt Reynolds finally reached his final resting place Thursday at a storied Hollywood cemetery. A small, private ceremony, with relatives taking part remotely via Zoom, was held Thursday morning at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where Reynolds' cremated remains were placed in a grave next to a lake nearly 2 1/2 years after his death. A temporary headstone simply reading "Burt Reynolds" now marks the site, but a bronze or stone bust of him is being commissioned, with hopes that it can be unveiled and opened to the public in September on the third anniversary of his death, Hollywood Forever president and co-owner Tyler Cassity told The Associated Press. 'WONDER WOMAN' STAR LYNDA CARTER SPEAKS OUT ON HUSBAND ROBERT A. ALTMAN'S DEATH: 'HE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE' After the ceremony on Thursday, a wreath and flowers draped the grave, and a lone fan appeared with a tiny Trans Am, the car that became synonymous with Reynolds through the "Smokey and the Bandit" films, and placed it on the grave. A college football standout at Florida State, Reynolds became an actor then became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in the 1970s and '80s, known for his mustache, his cocky laugh and his maverick swagger. He starred in films including "Deliverance," "Gator" and "Boogie Nights," for which he was nominated for an Oscar.

Reynolds died at age 82 on Sept. 6, 2018, at a hospital in Jupiter, Florida. He was cremated a few days later.

Orban: EU’s Permissive Stance on Migration Has ‘Turned the Mediterranean Into a Cemetery’
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has defended his strong stance against mass migration, saying the European Union’s relaxed attitude towards illegal border crossings “has turned the Mediterranean into a cemetery”. The national conservative leader offered his characteristically robust take on EU immigration policy in an interview with the German news outlet FOCUS, a translation of which has been seen by Breitbart London. “The main point of conflict between you and the EU is immigration. Why are you so opposed to the distribution of immigrants among EU member-states?” asked his interviewer, in reference to the EU policy of compulsory quotas for migrant redistribution which several conservative-leaning countries led by Hungary have been resisting. “Because it’s based on a wrong-headed concept,” Orbán explained. “We must take help to where the problems are, not bring those problems to Europe. The EU is creating illusions in the minds of people living in poorer countries. This is why we established the ‘Hungary Helps’ programme,” he said, referencing the Hungarian aid programme which helps Middle Eastern Christians, in particular, to rebuild their lives and communities in their historic homes. “[Migrants] want a European life and they believe that here they’ll be welcomed with open arms, but in fact they’ll end up in the hands of people-smugglers. Europe’s wrong-headed policies have generated a pull factor that has turned the Mediterranean into a cemetery,” he said. Indeed, the EU Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex, has previously admitted that EU- and NGO-backed “rescue” missions in the Mediterranean Sea have “strengthened the business model” of people-smugglers by making crossings more viable, leading to more attempts to reach Europe and more drownings.
