DETROIT -- The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the discovery of a decapitated man’s body inside a manhole on Monday morning.
The Wayne County Water Department told Local 4 they found the headless body in a manhole in an alley near Kercheval and Montclair streets on Detroit’s eastside.
The water department said it was called to the area to investigate reports of backed up sewage.
Police said the body has been taken to the Wayne County Medical examiner’s office.
However, police said it will be difficult to ID the body because the head, hands and feet have been cut off.
Police said they were able to determine it was a white man, who was wearing only underwear.
A full-scale investigation has been launched.
Police have not released any other details at this time.
What a shitty way to die. Decapitated, mutilated, and stuffed into a sewer pipe. Whats the world coming too, when people don't even have the common decency or humanity to stuff other people into woodchippers.
