Beer Tech Inventor Found Dead In Baseball Stadium Beer Cooler

A beer tech entrepreneur who invented a process that cuts down pour times was found dead inside a beer cooler at SunTrust Park stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cobb County police confirmed that Todd Keeling, the 48-year-old Minnesota-based father of four had been found dead inside a walk-in beer cooler on Tuesday, the 26^th,  where he had reportedly been finishing off an installation.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Keeling had developed a new technology called Draftwell, patented in 2014, which reduces CO₂ loss and wastage and was intended to cut SunTrust’s beer pouring time from 14 seconds down to five.

Keeling’s aunt, Fran Kuchta, who spoke to the publication, said that the family had been told that he’d entered the cooler and then couldn’t get out.

Kutcha believes that her nephew was there to finish up the installation, having been assisted by his two teenage sons who had returned home earlier in the week.

The Atlanta Braves, who play in the stadium, issued a brief statement…

“The Atlanta Braves are deeply saddened by the passing of Todd Keeling. We admired the passion he had for both his company and his product. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family”.
