Hialeah police said Waste Management workers thought they heard someone inside the compactor yelling for help.

Firefighters were called and used a thermal detector to see if anyone was inside, but nothing was detected.

So, just to be sure, firefighters offloaded the trash and were searching inside the compactor.
