Just two weeks before, one of Garcia's colleagues at Wilmington's Cherry Island Landfill discovered the body of former Pentagon official John P. Wheeler 3d as it tumbled from the back of an arriving truck.

The spotter saw it tumble..that means fall from the back ...of ... truck.

The trucks in our area cannot move forward without the cover closed and locked. Keeps trash from being blown out of the truck. If a piece of paper can't get out doubt if a 250# man could get put in. Since the containers are identical to the ones we use, I'm sure the lift and trucks are also comparable.

It looks like this article corrects the "poetic license" of the early article.

500 trucks a day go in and out of that landfill. That's about 1 every minute of an 8 hour day. We have one not too far away.

Like the supervisor said in the article, it's a miracle that someone even spotted the body.

Just like the 28th became the 29th as far as when John arrived in Wilmington from DC.
