A man was found dead at a recycling facility in Vaughan Friday evening, said York Regional Police (YRP).

Officers responded around 10 p.m. Friday to reports of an injured person at a recycling facility on Planchet Road, said Staff Sgt. Jay Hayes outside the scene early Saturday morning.

Police found a man dead at the scene “among recycling debris,” said YRP on social media.

Hayes said the man is not believed to be an employee of the recycling facility.

The Office of the Chief Coroner and YRP’s homicide and missing persons unit have been engaged as part of the case, said Hayes.
