Missing drummer, Kellen Bischoff Found Dead At PA ReCycling Plant

A teenage drummer was found dead at a recycling facility after he climbed into a dumpster and was compressed by a garbage truck after a night out.

Kellen Bischoff, 19, of Manahawkin, New Jersey, was found dead on Saturday around 8.45am at Total Recycling Facility in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, after attending an off-campus house party near Kutztown University.

The teen, who plays drums in a local band called Hellfire, had apparently been visiting family in Pennsylvania when he was reported missing.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, Bischoff was spotted on surveillance footage climbing into a dumpster behind Dollar Tree on Constitution Boulevard, according to police.

Hours later, a garbage truck arrived at the location and emptied the dumpsters into the back of the vehicle, where it then compressed.

He was identified by his ‘unique’ tattoos, according to the Daily Voice Somerset.

Investigators believe the teen’s death was accidental and they haven’t found signs of foul play, according to NBC Philadelphia. An autopsy was performed on Monday and toxicology reports are pending.

The autopsy did, however, confirm his injuries ‘were consistent with having been dumped into and later compressed by the trash truck,’ according to Fox 29.

DailyMail.com has reached out to the police for comment.

He is survived by his parents Patty and Mike, his twin brother Nathaniel, and his little sister Raegan.

His bandmates – Julian Contreras, Alex Rietmann, Nick Anastasatos, and Estrella Vasquez Morales – started a GoFundMe to help with the teen’s funeral expenses.
