Woman’s Body Found in Trash Can in Sunland; Investigation Underway

SUNLAND, LOS ANGELES, Apr. 17 (KNN) — The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death of a woman discovered inside a trash can Tuesday morning.

A foul odor from a sealed trash can in the 8500 block of Wentworth Street in Sunland, prompted a call to the LAPD’s Foothill Division Station around 10:30 a.m.

A local resident in the area mentioned to KNN off-camera, that trash day was Monday and that the trash bin is not a local trash bin from the area.

The body found inside the trash can is a female in her 30s or 40s, per an LAPD Public Information Officer who confirmed off-camera.

This is an ongoing investigation. There are no further details at this time.
