Police are investigating the 'unexplained' death of a woman - whose body was found 'in a bin'.
Officers were called to a flat block near Golders Green, north London at around 9am this morning by a concerned member of the public.
An onlooker claims a body was found in communal bins, with a rucksack laying nearby.
The death is currently being treated as 'unexpected and unexplained', Scotland Yard said.
A passer-by who spotted the police investigation said: 'There was a body found in a recycling bin. 'The police were there checking life vitals and there was a backpack next to the bin with personal items in.'
A picture from the scene, at the foot of a block called Harpenmead Point, shows a cordoned off area with officers investigating.
A pink rucksack can be seen on top of one of the bins.
