Officials involved with the investigation of a dead infant found at a recycling plant in Farmingdale on Tuesday have confirmed that a dead body was found at the same location in the past.

Jay Morgan, who has been the mayor of Farmingdale for 11 years, informed Patch that the Farmingdale industrial site had been the scene of a gruesome discovery only three years ago.

At that time, workers had found what was later determined to be a homeless man’s body. Morgan says that police believed the homeless man had been sleeping in a dumpster that was picked up by dump trucks and brought to the plant, and had passed away either in the dumpster before arriving at the plant.

On Tuesday, a worker going through garbage at the recycling center on Railroad Avenue discovered the remains of a baby girl. Police are appealing to the public for more information.
