The body of a man was found yesterday stuffed inside a rolled up carpet and dumped in a vacant lot in LaFayette, authorities said.
The unidentified man in his 50s was discovered at about 2:45 p.m. on Rue de Bourbon under Place d’Armes, cops said.
“A rag-and-bone man came by and saw part of a body sticking out of the rug so he flagged down a patrol bot,” said D2PD Spokesperson Maurice LeVar.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
The carpet was found in plain view on a pile of gravel near the front of the lot, according to LeVar.
