TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) _ Workers at a recycling plant found a man's body inside a 1,500-pound bale of paper, and investigators are trying to find out his identity and how he got there.

The body was found at Hamilton Manufacturing Inc. in Twin Falls, but investigators said the paper bale came from the Boise area, more than 100 miles northwest.

"The employees were shocked," Twin Falls police Capt. Matt Hicks said. "This is about the last thing in the world they expected to find at their job."

Police say they are checking missing person databases, and may use circulate a composite sketch to try to identify the man.

I pictured a squished bail. I guess I'm wrong here.
