A Tennessee man was found dead in a donation bin.

Police responded Sunday afternoon to a report of a man stuck inside the bin in Clarksville. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found a 48-year-old man with the lower part of his body protruding from the bin, Clarksville Police spokesman Jim Knoll said.

The man was extricated from the bin and pronounced dead at the scene, Knoll said. Police didn’t say why or how the man ended up there.

The man’s identity wasn’t released. No foul play was suspected, police said.
