A chilling discovery was made on Halloween in California, as a man's body was found inside a floating suitcase in Lake Meritt.
The residents of Oakland were left in shock and fear after this gruesome incident came to light.
The unsettling find was made by a volunteer who was assisting in the cleanup of Lake Meritt. At around 11:30 a.m., the volunteer stumbled upon the suitcase and immediately noticed its unusual weight. Kevin Shomo, a member of the Lake Merritt Institute cleanup crew, described the moment they unzipped the suitcase, revealing the horrifying truth. "I wasn't shocked, but I was surprised it was a body in there," Shomo told KTVU. The victim was identified as a man in his 30s, found in the fetal position.
The investigation into this disturbing incident is still ongoing, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the Oakland Fire Department. The authorities are diligently working to uncover the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
Angela Massella, a witness to the incident, shared her shock and fear with reporters. She had noticed the suitcase floating in the water earlier that morning. "It's really scary for me," Massella expressed. "For a body to be around the neighborhood here, it's really scary."
The discovery of a body in such a manner has left the community shaken and concerned for their safety. As the investigation progresses, residents eagerly await answers and reassurance from the authorities.
