MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police are investigating a dead body that was found in the 400 block of North Hollywood Street.
A witness told police he arrived at his vacant property around 9:30 a.m. Saturday when he found a decomposed body in the storage unit.
Police said the initial examination of the body does not show any foul play, however, additional examinations will be conducted.
The windows in the home are boarded up, and people in the neighborhood said it has been abandoned for about the last seven years. Neighbors said they often see homeless people coming and going from the home.
Although police don’t think the death is suspicious, it still has some people on edge.
“It surprised me because don’t nothin’ happen in this area, and for them to find a dead body over there, it shook me up like, whoa — this close to home,” a man who lives in the area said.
Police have yet to comment on how long they believe the body had been in the home or if the death is heat related.
