Homeless man found in bin died from suffocation

A 43-year-old homeless man whose body was found among rubbish in a waste management depot in Dublin died due to suffocation.

The man was alive when he was picked up by a bin truck and delivered to a waste sorting facility in Ballymount, an inquest heard.

Henryk Piotrowski originally from the Czech Republic, was sleeping rough around Dublin City Centre. He suffered fatal compression injuries caused by the machinery he came into contact with after he was loaded into the truck along with the contents of the bin.
