A man’s decomposing body covered in wounds has been discovered wrapped in a plastic sheet and dumped in a shopping cart near a California supermarket.
The grim discovery was made after 4 p.m. Sunday outside the Food Maxx grocery store on Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway in Chico, a city about 80 miles north of Sacramento.
A passerby called 911 to report that a person inside the cart appeared to be dead.
Police officers found the cart near the front of the business containing a man’s body wrapped in a large white plastic sheet, according to the Chico Police Department.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Cops said the unidentified adult male had suffered visible injuries, prompting them to launch a homicide investigation.
Detective Lt. Brian Miller of the Chico PD told the station Action News Now that the cart containing the body had likely been in front of the supermarket for several days.
Miller also said investigators have obtained surveillance footage showing a possible suspect moving the cart.

Nobody noticed the odor because a lunch van was parked near by.

Dumb enough to say “DOA” when it should be DRT (dead right there)
Should have taken an Electric Cart.
Betcha the guy caught on camera is a FoodMax employee responding to a smell complaint.
Otherwise, looks like bums are killing bums.
Please check out the meat market for a sale on Long Pig only $3.99 a pound. Limited time only.
It was probably one of the few remaining carts with four good wheels.
Probably not, but I’ll bet he was past his expiration date…
If it was Aldi it would have been found in about 30 seconds. “Hey, an untethered cart, I’m saving my quarter!” “Ewww.”
Yeah, no. Even though he is obviously dead, a paramedic is not qualified to pronounce a person dead lt takes a medical doctor or a coroner.
When was he vaccinated?
