ALLENTOWN (AP) – Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania have released the name of a homeless man found crushed to death inside a garbage truck in Allentown.

Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said 53-year-old Tony Lee Graham died of “massive crushing injuries.” His death was ruled an accident.

The victim was found shortly before 6 a.m. Friday and pronounced dead about five hours later at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.

Grim said officials are searching for Graham’s next of kin and asked anyone with information to call the coroner’s office.

City police and the coroner’s office are investigating the death.
