Two escaped Kentucky inmates found dead may have been crushed in garbage truck

SULPHUR, Ky. (AP) - A medical examiner office in Louisville, Kentucky, is conducting autopsies to determine whether two inmates whose bodies were found in a landfill were crushed to death.

Authorities think the men were hiding in the dumpster after escaping Wednesday from the Kentucky State Reformatory in La Grange.

A garbage pickup was made at the prison Wednesday morning. Garbage from the prison was delivered to the landfill later that day.

The inmates were last seen Wednesday morning and their bodies were found the next day.

Kentucky Corrections officials say they expect the incident to deter future escape attempts.
