A 19-year-old from Manahawkin was found dead at a recycling plant in Pennsylvania after walking off from a house party near Kutztown University.

Kellen Bischoff, in Kutztown visiting a family member, wandered off alone in the early Saturday morning hours, CBS News reports.

Bischoff reportedly ended up behind a Dollar Tree store off Constitution Blvd. where he was observed climbing into a dumpster.

According to Berks County District Attorney's office, surveillance video then captured a trash truck arriving to the Dollar Tree, where the dumpster's contents were emptied into the vehicle's back compartment before being compressed and transported to a local recycling complex.

Authorities believe Bischoff's death was accidental, and doesn't appear to involve foul play.

Kutztown Borough took to Facebook to dispel a rumor that Bischoff was being chased by police and that's why he hid.

Bischoff was a 2022 graduate of Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin.

A service will reportedly be held Sunday, November 20th from 2-6 p.m. at Maxwell-Tobie Funeral Home on Mill Creek Road in Manahawkin.

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.
