NEW RUSSIA TWP., Ohio — Authorities announced on Tuesday that the body of a man discovered at Republic Services Landfill in New Russia Township Tuesday is Cory Barron. The 22-year-old from Fremont disappeared from the Jason Aldean concert at Progressive Field on Friday. Family members reported him missing on Saturday. On Tuesday, Cleveland police said they received information from the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office that a body had been found and officers responded to the location. The Lorain County Coroner’s Office will determine the cause of death. Cleveland police Commander James Chura told FOX 8′s Kevin Freeman that Barron was found in a dumpster in the basement of Progressive Field; that’s five or six stories below the section in which Barron was sitting for the concert. The commander said Barron’s concert ticket and identification were found with him. Police are investigating the possibility that he may have fallen down the garbage chute and into a dumpster. The contents inside were later taken to the landfill. Tuesday night, Jason Aldean tweeted a message to Cory’s family and friends.
