The death of a father of two who was reportedly crushed to death in a waste lorry has been ruled an accident by a jury.
Adam Forrester, 30, had been enjoying a night out in Hanley, Staffordshire, just hours before his body was discovered in a pile of waste as it was being sorted.
Now, almost four years on from the tragedy on September 12, 2017, an inquest has been held into his death.
The jury heard that the dispensing assistant had been staying at the Macari Centre in Hanley.
Mr Forrester had gone out that night with a friend, who lost sight of him at a nightclub. The last image of him alive was caught on CCTV as he walked along Trinity Street at 3.26am.

It is thought he may have climbed into, or fallen into, a commercial waste bin nearby. There had been a rainstorm that night and one theory was he could have been taking shelter.
