A 19 year old teenager identified as Kellen Bischoff was found dead Saturday at a Pennsylvania recycling plant after he was captured on video climbing into a dumpster earlier that morning, authorities said.
According to patch.com, Kellen Bischoff lost his life after falling into a dumpster – which later had its contents compressed and taken to a recycling facility – following an off-campus college party near Kutztown University, the Berks County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Bischoff was visiting a family member at the university at the time.
Surveillance footage recovered by investigators showed the teen diving into a dumpster behind a Dollar Tree store on Constitution Boulevard in Kutztown.
A trash hauler arrived hours later to empty and compress the contents of the bin, which were then taken to Total Recycling Facility in Birdsboro where Bischoff’s body was found, the Berks County District Attorney’s Office said.
