The death toll from last week's farm accident in western Minnesota is now three, and they'll all be memorialized on Tuesday. 

11-year-old Alex Boesl died Friday night, less than a week after his father and uncle were accidentally overcome by deadly fumes from a silage silo in the Douglas County town of Millerville.  


Alex was taken to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis and was taken off sedation on Thursday.

Alex and his father Curt were working on the silo at their family farm last Saturday when they inhaled the fumes.  

Curt died on last Sunday.  

His brother Steven Boesl tried to rescue them and died at the scene. 

Funeral services for all three take place Tuesday morning at Our Lady of Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Millerville.
