[USA Today] TALLAHASSEE -- Two men who likely never met died the same bone-crushing way, according to recently released investigative reports: They fell asleep in dumpsters that city garbage trucks emptied and were killed in the maw of the trash compactor.
The bodies of William J. "Jay" Norris and Anthony D. Todd were found two months apart at the Leon County waste transfer station. One was a longtime homeless resident of Tallahassee. The other was a more recent arrival.
As coincidental as those bizarre circumstances appear, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office said no foul play was involved. The two deaths were purely accidental and seemingly avoidable.
Their deaths raise questions about the safety of trash bins and whether enough precautions are in place to prevent people from getting trapped in trucks' compactors. |
