Man Apparently Killed By Trash Compactor While Looking For His Cell Phone In Apartment Garbage Room Machine, Palatine
Palatine police responded about 9:30 PM Tuesday to a missing person report at an apartment building near Northwest Highway and Rohlwing Road Palatine, IL. Police found the body of man who is believed to have been caught in a trash compactor while looking for his cell phone. Police and the Cook County medical examiner's office identified the victim as Roger Mirro -- a 56-year-old resident of the apartment building on the third floor.
Mirro's wife called police about 9:30 p.m. when she arrived home, and her husband was not home. She told police she had communicated with her husband by phone about 5:00 p.m.
Police interviewed neighbors, and found a neighbor with information that led to the discovery of Mirro's body. The neighbor told police that Mirro asked for a key to the trash room in a lower level parking garage of the apartment complex because Mirro needed to check to see if his cellphone was accidentally thrown out down the garbage chute.
When police arrived in the trash room, they found a lock removed from the door, and a ladder propped up against the trash compactor. Mirro's body was found inside the trash compactor with injuries consistent with trauma caused by the trash compactor.
