Officials said that Jill Greninger, 35, fell into the machinery just before noon.

Authorities told ABC News Greninger was found by a coworker after workers began hearing strange noises coming from the commercial machine.

Firefighters spent about 45 minutes disassembling the large machine in an effort to recover the woman’s remains.

Lycoming County coroner Charles Kiessling Jr. said the woman may have been standing on a set of wheeled stairs before the incident. He told the Williamsport Sun-Gazette it was a "horrible accident." "This is just a tragedy," Kiessling said. "She died inside the moving parts of the machine."

Witnesses are not sure exactly how Greninger ended up in the machine.
