Homeless father crushed to death after trash bin that he was sleeping in is tipped into garbage truck in Manchester
David Warrington, 43, was reportedly sleeping rough and had crawled into a trash bin after a concert at O2 Apollo in Manchester in 2014
A 43-year-old homeless father who slept in a trash bin outside the Apollo theatre in Manchester was crushed to death and his body was only found after the bin caught fire while it was being emptied into a garbage truck. An inquest into his death concluded on Friday that his death was accidental.
David Warrington was reportedly sleeping rough and had crawled into the trash bin after a concert at O2 Apollo in Manchester in 2014 after using the side panel to gain access. Wayne Fitton, a waste collection driver who arrived to clear the waste in the container outside the concert venue did not have prior knowledge of Warrington's presence in the trash bin and tipped the container in to a garbage truck.
