SEATAC, Wash. - The King County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a decomposed body was found Monday morning in a suitcase outside a garbage bin at a SeaTac apartment complex.
Deputies and investigators responded to the scene, the Abbey Ridge apartment complex in the 3000 block of South 204th Street, at about 8:30 a.m. after receiving a report that a body had been found.
Few details were immediately available. Sgt. Stan Seo of the King County Sheriff's Office said the horrific discovery was made by a maintenance worker.
He said initial reports that the suitcase was found inside a garbage truck were in error.
It was the second time in two months that a body has been found in a suitcase in south King County. In the previous incident, a woman's body was found inside a suitcase at a Kent park.
Seo said there doesn't appear to be a connection between the two cases.
