After a four-day search, the body of a missing 49-year-old worker was discovered Sunday after the concrete storage silo in which he was working collapsed Thursday in Bristol Township, PA.

The body of Anthony Gabriele was found by firefighters digging through tons of concrete powder at Riverside Cement.

A Bristol Township police officer on routine patrol discovered the collapsed silo at the Riverside Industrial Complex at about 1 a.m. Thursday. The last shift at the plant ended at about 11:30 p.m.

According to Bristol Township emergency management director Kevin Dippolito, the search for Gabriele could take several days. The silo was 125 ft tall and some of the piles of concrete are reportedly 50 ft deep.
