Four Pakistani workers died after inhaling toxic gases in a sewage manhole in a private farm west of Kuwait City, newspapers reported Thursday, reported (AFP) 

The men were trying to clear stagnant sewage water when a small water pump they were using fell into the three-meter-deep (13 feet) manhole and they went down to recover it, Al-Siyassah said. 

All died after inhaling toxic gases. The deceased were identified as Younis Mohammad, 40, Mohammad Hassaf, 35, Mohammad Munir, 40, and Najibullah, 50 – (AFP)
