PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police in northwestern Massachusetts are investigating the death of a person whose body was found in a trash container.

Pittsfield police say the body was found Saturday in a container off Tyler Street.

The person’s name, age and sex have not been released.

Police referred questions about the death to the Berkshire district attorney’s office. A spokesman for District Attorney David Capeless did not immediately return a message Sunday.
