Coroner: Missing S. Carolina man fell into plastic shredder

July 7, 2022

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Dried blood found at a recycling plant is that of a 20-year-old who was reported missing there two months ago, a South Carolina coroner said.

Duncan Alexander Burrell Gordon, of Greer, was reported missing in early May from the recycling plant where his father is a supervisor.

Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said Gordon apparently fell into the plastic shredder where he was working May 5, the last time he was seen, news agencies reported.

Clevenger said in a news release Wednesday that the machine at Industrial Recycling and Recovery Inc. was inspected four times, the first by Gordon's father. The material was found during the third search, which included a cadaver dog, he wrote. He said the sample's DNA fit with that of Gordon's parents, WSB-TV reported.

1. What a horrible way to die.

Although I guess it was a quick death.

3. Most likely , a hopper. If the floor was sticky or slippery..

Probably a 200k osha fine and maybe prison if there were prior violations
