    HARTFORD, Vermont (WPTZ) — Hartford Police released new information about the female body found at the Casella Recycling Processing Center in Hartford earlier this week, saying the person’s death was likely accidental.

As of Thursday, investigators said they have positively identified the body as belonging to a female from the Hartford area, and next of kin have been notified.

Officials said the person’s identity will not be released, as preliminary autopsy results have indicated that the death was an accident.

An active investigation is still ongoing.
