Ohio dad of two found dead inside CVS trash compactor after worried wife’s cell phone ping

A dad-of-two has been found dead inside a trash compactor at a CVS drugstore — and cops discovered his body after his worried wife tracked his cell phone location.

Andrew Strand, 34, was carrying out contract work at the Shaker Heights, Ohio, shop last Wednesday but failed to call his wife of seven years, Jaymie, to tell her he was returning home, which sparked alarm.

That prompted her to call cops and track his location using a cell phone tool, which led her to the drugstore, as reported by the CBS affiliate WOIO-TV.

Shaker Heights cops made a grisly discovery inside a trash compactor at the back after combing a search of the shop.

Strand, a mechanic who had just launched his own business, was found dead inside the appliance. Coroners are yet to reveal a cause of death.
