A man has been found dead in a wheelie bin in Coventry, police have said.
A member of the public discovered the body in a Coventry City Council bin with a green lid in Cash's Park off Daimler Road at around 5pm on Friday.
The victim, thought to be aged 40 to 50, has not yet been identified.
West Midlands Police believe he may have been hit by a vehicle before being moved to the park.
The force appealed for information to establish who the man is, and where and how he died.
"I urgently want to hear from anyone who believes they may have hit someone in their car yesterday, or who has noticed a change in behaviour from someone they know who drives, or who has noticed damage to a vehicle," Detective Chief Inspector Phil Poole said.
"It's vital that we trace that person as quickly as possible so that we can get their account of what happened.
"If anyone in the area has found that their wheelie bin with a green lid has been stolen, I also want to hear from them."
