The identity of a body found in a dumpster behind a Ukiah Staples Saturday night was confirmed by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday.

Ukiah Police officers responded to the scene behind the business on Airport Park Boulevard just after 9 p.m. Saturday where another person who was ‘dumpster diving’ located the body, according to UPD Sgt. Sean Kaeser.

The body in the dumpster was that of George Chambers, 46, of Ukiah, MCSO Capt. Greg Van Patten said.

Van Patten said an autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday morning to determine Chambers’ cause of death. The MCSO is handling the coroner’s investigation, with UPD investigating the circumstances of the incident, Van Patten said.

“Everything we have is still under investigation,” Kaeser said, adding it was unclear at this time when more information would be available to the public.
