[h=1]Worker Finds Body Carefully Wrapped in Plastic Tarp in Fairmount Park[/h]

A city worker picking up litter and emptying trash cans found a badly decomposed body wrapped in a green tarp in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park Friday morning.

The Parks and Recreation worker made the discovery around 8:20 in a fenced in area near a parking lot off Martin Luther King Drive near Black Road, Philadelphia police said.

The worker told NBC10 that he called police after smelling something foul coming from the large plastic tarp. The body was wrapped in a blanket, then plastic and then dumped in the area, investigators said.

"The body was definitely carefully wrapped," Southwest Detectives Lt. John Walker said.

The body was so badly decomposed that police couldn't immediately determine the gender or age.

Lt. John Walker says the body was wrapped in a blanket, then plastic and then dumped in the area. He calls the scene "horrifying."

Walter says the water department was doing work in the area until about two weeks ago so it's likely the body was dumped since then.
The medical examiner will use dental records to identify the person, and police are looking into all outstanding missing persons cases.
