The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating after a body was found inside a "sealed trash can" in Sunland Tuesday morning. The gruesome discovery was made around 10:30 a.m. on the 8500 block of Wentworth Street.

Details are limited at this time, but the LAPD said its homicide detectives have been assigned the case. Around 3:30 p.m., video from Sky5 showed several law enforcement officers investigating the black trash can, which appeared to have been placed along the curb as if it were waiting for a normal trash pickup.
