BERKS COUNTY, PA. (THECOUNT) — Missing 19-year-old drummer, Kellen Bischoff, from Ocean County, New Jersey, has been identified as the body found at a Berks County, Pennsylvania recycling plant late Saturday.

Bischoff, who was reported missing early Saturday while visiting Pennsylvania, was found deceased several hours later at a recycling facility after reportedly entering a trash dumpster.

According to security video, Bischoff was spotted crawling into a Dollar General dumpster in Berks County. Hours later, a garbage truck is seen emptying the dumpster and compressing its contents. Bishoff’s body was later located when the truck was unloaded at the recycling facility.
