A body was found in a trash can in Brea Thursday afternoon, and authorities believe it had been there for “an extended period of time.”
A driver spotted the trash can on the side Brea Canyon Road shortly after 3 p.m., Brea police Lt. Jerry Brakebill said.
Brakebill said it’s unclear whether the body is that of a male, female, adult or child.
Brea Canyon Road from Central Avenue to Tonner Canyon Road is closed for the investigation.
