SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A woman clearing out her garage on a city cleanup day found a plastic-wrapped corpse on the dirt floor.
The death is being treated as a homicide, said Clark County Coroner Dirk Wood.
Mary Williams said she tried to remove a pair of tennis shoes from a pile of debris Saturday.
“I pulled on the tennis shoes and when I did, I said: ‘There’s something in the shoes. There’s a body in them,’ ” she said. “The leg was the only thing I saw. I ran out.”
Neither Wood nor police would release any details about the body.
The body may have been there when the Williamses moved in about a year ago, Wood said.
