It is believed an 18-year-old man, whose body was found at a workplace in
Western Australia's South West yesterday, may have been dead since Tuesday.
Police and the state's workplace safety regulator, Worksafe, are investigating
the accident at Harvey Beef.
It is believed the man's head was crushed in machinery which was located
in an isolated part of a roof space.
The man's family has been notified.
Ros Weatherill from Police Media says officers are investigating how the
accident happened.
"Police are investigating the likelihood that the man's clothing may have
become entangled in a piece of machinery in a cool room," she said.
"We're looking at the circumstances behind the man not being found until
Friday and are working closely with the management of Harvey Beef."

The accident that took this young mans life is terrible but what makes it horrific is why and how could he had gone unnoticed and not missed at the end if the day or for the next few days by his work mates or bosses!!! Somebody has got to answer for that it's criminal!!!
Yeah. What a way to go. 18 Years old and die in a stinking meatworks, his whole life taken away. And they've still got beef falling in the slaughter floor and labourers crawling underneath belts in the boning to unblock fat belts that are being utilised as bone belts.
Who ever owns this place should be ashamed of themselves.
