NYC mom crushed alive after falling into trash compactor — as residents heard her terrified screams

A Brooklyn mom of four fell into an apartment trash compactor after leaving a bar and was crushed to death as residents heard her scream in terror, police sources said Friday.

Michelle Montgomery, 39 — whose remains were initially thought to have been chopped up and stuffed inside garbage bags at a Williamsburg housing complex — likely tumbled into the garbage chute while trying to retrieve her purse on Jan. 31, police sources said.

Montgomery was then heard shrieking inside the Borinquen Public Houses. She wasn’t located, however, and the compacting machine eventually crushed her alive and placed her body parts in a plastic bag along with building trash, said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
