Homeless man found crushed inside garbage truck in tragic Czech waste compactor accident

It appears that the garbage truck workers did not notice the man inside the container. Unfortunately, he was unintentionally tossed in with the garbage into the truck where he was subsequently crushed by the compactor. The investigation into this incident has commenced.

Reports from Novinky suggest that the victim was likely a 38-year-old homeless individual who had taken shelter from the cold inside a paper bin.

The cleaning company alerted the police about their grim discovery around 3:30 AM Eastern Time. Monika Nováková, a spokeswoman for the Central Bohemian Emergency Service, stated that the operations center sent a doctor to the scene who subsequently confirmed the man's death.

An autopsy has been scheduled to ascertain whether the cause of death was eventually being crushed in the garbage truck or if the man had passed away prior to this event. Currently, there's no evidence to indicate a murder.
