Soon, a text message arrived asking the teen if he had been caught. The deputies typed "no" in response.

Canadian Teen Dies After Being Buried in Hot Asphalt
A 15-year-old boy working on a construction site just north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, died Friday after he was buried under a mountain of searing-hot asphalt, fire officials said.
The boy, too young to work on construction jobs under Manitoba labor laws, was part of a paving crew working on a parking lot in the Winnipeg community of Stony Mountain.
"I believe (the truck) dumped off way too much asphalt unexpectedly," said Stony Mountain fire chief Wallace Drysdale.
Drysdale said he was among the first on the scene, and "we just saw the hair sticking out" of the mound of asphalt. He said that crews could only work digging the boy out for four- or five-minute intervals because their feet were burning from the heat.
Stony Mountain being a small town his death has touched everyone.
