Covina police are investigating the discovery of a decomposing dead body in the trunk of a car registered to a missing man.

Officers found the Toyota Camry, which appeared abandoned, Tuesday evening parked on the 1000 block of East Wanamaker Drive.

A license check revealed the car belonged to a 26-year-old man reported missing Friday to the Ontario Police Department, according to a Covina police report.

Approaching the vehicle, officers smelled a powerful odor coming from the trunk. They forced open the trunk and found the body of a man inside.

The body had not been identified nor a cause of death determined, police said.
