Australian police investigating after man found dead in industrial bin

SYDNEY, June 2, (Xinhua): Police in the Australian island state of Tasmania have launched an investigation into the death of a man whose body was found in an industrial garbage bin. Tasmania Police said on Monday that the body of the 45-year-old man was discovered at around 9 am in a large industrial waste bin at a business in Bellerive, a suburb of the state capital of Hobart.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday afternoon, Detective Inspector David Gill said that it was not yet known how the man, who had been homeless for about two months, died, but he was known to frequent the area and had last been seen alive by his children on Saturday night. Police have begun piecing together the man's movements since Saturday night and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area.
