From the article:

An intoxicated man was collected and compacted by a garbage truck after he decided to take a nap inside a dumpster, according to KGW. 27-year-old Justin Gilpatrick was smart enough to realize that he’d had a bit too much to drink early Friday morning, so he wisely chose not to drive home. Instead, he hopped into a nearby dumpster to take a quick nap. What he didn’t anticipate, of course, was the arrival of a garbage truck the next morning.

Much to Gilpatrick’s horror, the truck arrived around 1 a.m. to collect the refuse inside the container, including the inebriated man himself. The driver, oblivious to the guy hitching a ride in the garbage, continued on his route, compacting the waste twice during his early-morning routine. It wasn’t until he arrived at Mall 205 that he realized he was carrying around an extra passenger.
