Farmer Dies Due to a Medical Issue While Driving Tractor

The Effingham County Coroner’s Office was notified of a death just after 3pm Monday at HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital Emergency Room.

Preliminary information revealed that Linus Nosbisch, age 60 of rural Teutopolis, was operating a tractor and a grain wagon on 2100th St. when he apparently suffered a critical medical issue and slumped over the wheel. His sister in law who was riding with him grabbed the wheel and brought the farm equipment to a safe stop at a neighbor’s property. She then called 911.  

Linus Nosbisch was transported to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital Emergency Room by Rural Med EMS and passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Medical records were requested by the Coroner’s office. The death remains under investigation by the Effingham County Coroner’s office.
