Operators at a wastewater treatment plant in Muncie, Indiana, discovered the body of a local 41-year-old man, identified as Michael Donald Coates.
The man’s body was found on a conveyor belt inside the plant. According to police, there are three local storm drains and also a filtration system big enough to carry an adult body into the plant.
“We’re guessing he entered (through a manhole) somewhere on the city’s south side,” an officer told the Muncie Star Press.
A recently completed autopsy was inconclusive, but ruled out drowning as a cause of death. The investigation is ongoing.
