Police descended on Walworth Street (between Flushing and Park) in Brooklyn, after two suitcases full of body parts was discovered on the sidewalk. According to the Daily News, a homeless man found the suitcases in plastic bags but then screamed, "Call the cops! There's a chopped-up person in the bags!"

Last week, a man's body was found in a suitcase, at a park in Yonkers (the dead man's leg fell out of the suitcase when a park worker went to inspect). Now an autopsy has found that the man had 50 heroin packets in his body. Police think he died when one or two broke open. Westchester County police said that the street value of the drugs was about $100,000. They do not think the man was killed by drug dealers, since the dealers would "have cut his body open for drugs." A police spokesman said, "How he got to the park with the drugs still inside him is still piece of the puzzle."
