Hamburg, October 15 – A deceased individual was found in compressed paper waste at a recycling plant in the Hamburg district of Billbrook. An employee made the grim discovery on Friday, as first reported by the “Hamburger Abendblatt.” The worker reportedly saw the head of a man in a bale of paper.
Police Suspect Accidental Death
Police currently believe the body ended up in the paper waste accidentally. The man was reportedly homeless, leading to the theory that he may have sought shelter in an old paper container to sleep. When the container was emptied, the man was carried into a garbage truck, where the paper, along with the 37-year-old, was compressed for the first time. The body was then further compressed at the private waste disposal company’s premises, becoming lodged within the paper.
Autopsy Confirms Injuries Consistent with Accident
An autopsy conducted by a medical examiner revealed injuries consistent with this sequence of events. Consequently, police are treating the incident as an accident.
Further Investigations Underway
While the initial findings point to an accident, authorities are continuing their investigation to gather all relevant facts surrounding the man’s death and how he came to be in the paper waste. No further details about the deceased have been released at this time.
