Gordon was reported missing on May 5 after he was last seen during his overnight shift at Industrial Recycling & Recovery, Inc. in Greer, South Carolina, KTLA sister station WSPA reports.

On June 10, the Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office was contacted after tests returned positive results for Gordon’s DNA.

The coroner’s office asked a forensic anthropologist and a forensic pathologist to examine the material recovered by a Spartanburg County Sheriff Detective.

According to the coroner’s office, the machine where Gordon was found was viewed at least four times. The first time was by the plant and Gordon’s father. After his check, the machine was started again.

The third search was when the material was found under the conveyor belt by a detective and was tested.

After hydration, it tested positive for human blood.

After meeting with the sheriff’s office, the coroner’s office arranged exams for the material. The results showed the material was consistent with human fat, microscopically minute particles of skin and small pieces of bone.

Approximately two ounces were recovered by the detective from the conveyor belt... 60,000 pounds of plastic material had been processed between the time Gordon was noticed missing and the first time investigators arrived to inspect the machine.

Hopefully not being recycled into food/drink containers

OSHA and L&I are going to have a field day on this one. I work in heavy industry and this truly is a everybody’s nightmare.

Was the guy working alone in the plant?

Likely he was already “processed” before the first search was conducted.

That has to be a big time violation of safety protocols - for the machine to be on while he’s hand-feeding it.

Perhaps had a heart attack or stroke and fell in.
