Remains Found in Bin Fire(Staff - June 7/01) Fire fighters were shocked to find the remains of two men, inside a burning dumpster early this morning. The dumpster located at the corner of four different apartment blocks has long been a problem. At the end of the month, various furniture, mattresses, forgotten clothing and other personal items scatter the ground around it. This for a very tempting target for local vandals. Fire Department spokesmen had the following to say in a recent press conference. "When fire fighters arrived on the scene the bin and surrounding trees were already burning out of control. The wind had also blown several items out of the bin and on to the items leaning up against it. Our first concern was the safety of the buildings around the fire, the bin fire was contained and would burn itself out if given enough time." The bodies appear to have been the victim of multiple stab wounds, and are currently being identified, at the Heath Science Centre.
