PATHOLOGISTS will today conduct an autopsy to determine the unexplained death of a man whose body, neighbours said, was found wrapped in carpet in the backyard of a Greenwith property.

Major Crime detectives and forensic officers are investigating the death on Bowmore Court, where the man’s body was discovered by teenagers about 7.30am yesterday.

A cordon was established on the street while police talked to neighbours and combed the scene for evidence.

One neighbour was heard yelling “I just want my phone back” while talking to officers.

Police were yesterday working to establish the identity of the man and how long he had been dead.

They declined to confirm neighbour reports that his body was wrapped in carpet.

The results of the autopsy are expected later today.

This will determine if the man’s death is suspicious, self-inflicted or through natural causes.

Anyone with information about this incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
