Halifax Regional Police are investigating after the discovery of a man's body Wednesday afternoon at a recycling facility in Bayers Lake Business Park.
Police say the body arrived in a truck that had been collecting materials from commercial containers throughout Bayers Lake and Halifax on Wednesday morning.
"We know that he arrived there on a truck, so now we are tracing the truck's steps backward to determine whether he was in a bin and what bin he may have been in," police spokesperson Marla MacInnis told CBC News.
Police are investigating the cause of the man's death, but do not believe it is suspicious.
MacInnis said police have been able to identify the man from an autopsy, but they're not releasing further details other than to say he was 50 years old and from Halifax.
Police haven't yet been able to notify all his relatives.
