13 Strange stories of dead bodies discovered in public (With Pictures)

8. Body Found Frozen In Ice In Elevator Shaft

If I were to pick the way I wanted to die, being frozen at the bottom of an elevator shaft in Detroit would be pretty close to the bottom. But hey, as far as I know, we don’t get to choose. The body of a man frozen in ice was found in the elevator shaft of a vacant warehouse.

A  reporter who got an anonymous tip found the body. I am sure that was a great tip to receive. Who knows where there’s a dead body located and calls a reporter instead of the cops? They had to use a saw to get the body out. Investigators guessed that the body was frozen in the ground for months, and no one has any idea how he was trapped in the elevator shaft, or what the cause of death was. I can imagine that whatever it was, there was nothing pretty about it.
