The Lehigh County coroner's office says the death of Michael A. Dempsey has been ruled an accident.
The Morning Call of Allentown reports that workers found Dempsey's body around 3:45 p.m. Thursday as they were sorting through recyclables at the Liberty Recycling Center.
Allentown police say Dempsey had recently become homeless and had sought refuge in a large recycling bin, whose contents were dumped into the recycling truck.
