Demopolis Police are investigating the discovery of a dead body in a storage shed at a business on Highway 80 East.
The body was found Monday around 2:26 p.m. at Alabama Portable Sheds at 1620 Highway 80 East by workers cleaning out the storage shed that had been relocated from Birmingham, Demopolis Public Safety Director Rex Flowers said in a statement.
Demopolis police are gathering information from the workers as part of the investigation. Due to the stage of decomposition, investigators believe the person had been dead several weeks or months and could not make a positive identification.Â
Crime Scene Investigators and Fire/Rescue personnel retrieved the remains and they have been transported to the Department of Forensic Sciences for further examination. Investigators from Birmingham Police Department were also notified of the situation.
