Woman's body found in Butte trash bin

BUTTE (AP) — Police in Butte say the body of a woman was found Sunday in a large trash bin.

Butte police Capt. Jerome McCarthy tells the Montana Standard (http://bit.ly/12SJvaA) the 49-year-old woman was likely rummaging through the bin when she fell into it. Her car was found parked nearby.

McCarthy says police do not suspect foul play but the body has been sent to the Montana Crime Lab in Missoula, and the death is under investigation.

Her name hasn't been released.
