Police said two feet with white socks and blue jeans could be seen through a garbage bag that was protruding from the duffel bag.

Authorities are still not sure of the gender or race of the person, D'Auria reported.

One woman, who lives just two blocks away, said there's a lot of garbage in that area.

"I mean, in the summer there's a lot of people there. In the winter there's really nobody around," she said.

The medical examiner will now determine the cause of death.
