JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A body has been found stuffed in a trash can behind a vacant home in Mississippi.

A homeless man made the discovery Tuesday morning, Sgt. Roderick Holmes told WAPT-TV.

A man’s body had been stuffed in a large garbage can that was left behind an empty house in Jackson, Holmes said. The body and the garbage can were taken to the state crime lab, he said.



The case has been ruled a homicide, but police could not immediately say how the man was killed.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477).
