THE BODY OF a man has been found in a waste truck at a Panda recycling facility this morning.
Gardaí said that they are investigating the discovery of the body of a man at a waste recycling facility at Ballymount Road, Dublin 24.
The body was discovered this morning by staff who were unloading a waste truck. They reported the incident to gardaí shortly before 9am.
A spokesperson from Panda said that the truck had collected waste from bins used by commercial premises. The waste from the bins was then tipped into the yard at the Panda facility in Ballymount.
When staff spotted the body, they immediately called the gardaí, said the spokesperson.
It is not known yet which of the commercial waste bins the body may have originally come from.
The body is not that of a staff member from Panda.
The body of the man, who believed to be in his 30s, remains at the scene and the office of the State Pathologist has been notified.

A very similar incident happened in Glasgow. The body of the man turned out to be a homeless man who had climbed into the large skip like wheelie bin to sleep. He’d died from natural causes. RIP
RIP
@ Monica …. People don’t joke about this sort of thing here on the journal…. It’s much worse you will see comments saying gangland this n that .. He deserved it probably a drug dealer … One less … Ect ect
Truth is nobody knows they just mouth and sprout out of them
RIP. and I hope the lads who found him get over the shock of it .
I wasn’t refereing to the journal There were posts of people joking about the poor chaps death They have been removed now
I rest my case Monika

A friend of mine found another corpse under a seat @ James Joyces Bridge yesterday !!!! Numerous people walked on by ! She was the only one to check the poor divil & alert the Guards !!
Really not good time for jokes
RIP
So sad, what an undignified end to a life. I hope he didn’t suffer.
Feel so sorry for the workers who found him, be such a shock.

Aren’t people entitled to a opinion on this, apart from the jokers,if people assume its gangland let them say so is this not the point of this app
It’s one thing to have an opinion but it’s another to be disrespectful
By assuming how he died? That’s not disrespectful
I agree with you but I don’t agree that it should be any less tragic if was gangland related
Regular occurrence in the waste industry all across the world , not just an Irish thing
May he RIP with The Lord .
My god what has this country come to… poor fella :0(
As tragic as it is , and if that was me found dead in the back of a truck , would I expect jokes o yeah, would I be bothered hell no. I find that sick jokes tend to hurt more when your a live. In this instance I just hope he didn’t suffer too much.
It’s family and friends that lost a loved one and last thing they need is immature poeople joking about it
Exactly, Monica.
Was wondering where all the sickos where
Did somebody mention Ballyer.
Very misleading headline really
Oxigen…see the E. Your google machine needs a new operator
