A garbage-truck driver was refueling in Mexico City when someone alerted him to a body in the back of his vehicle, according to Mexico's NMás news channel.

Reporter Itzel Cruz describes the discovery at the intersection of Manuel Carpio and Cedro in Santa María la Ribera, a neighborhood in the capital's Cuauhtémoc borough. The truck belongs to urban services in the neighboring Miguel Hidalgo borough.

Cruz reports that the man, estimated to be around 45, was found wrapped in plastic. Paramedics attended and confirmed his death, while auxiliary police, civil protection personnel and forensic investigators from the Mexico City prosecutor's office arrived at the scene.

The broadcast also relays residents' accounts that the man had attempted suicide two days earlier. That account does not establish how he died or explain how his body came to be wrapped in plastic inside the truck.

The distinction becomes a central question during the live exchange. Presenter Humberto interrupts from the studio to check that he has understood the condition in which the body was found. Cruz confirms the plastic wrapping and emphasizes that the residents' account is preliminary.

Cruz also gives a preliminary estimate that the man had been dead for at least two days. The report supplies no official cause of death or explanation of who placed him in the vehicle. Humberto closes by saying they are awaiting the authorities' account of what happened.

The video is titled "Hallan cadáver en camión de basura de CDMX," meaning "Body found in Mexico City garbage truck."
