Grisly find in Brooklyn: Man, apparently beaten to death, found inside shopping cart

A man was found dead inside a tipped-over shopping cart in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, this morning, police said.

The unidentified victim, who appeared to have been beaten to death, was discovered around 4:30 a.m. in front of 750 Madison St., cops said. His body was partially covered by a camouflage bag.

He had trauma to the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

No arrests have been made, and cops are waiting for the medical examiner to determine a cause of death.

Investigators believe the victim died nearby and was abandoned by someone who tried to move him in the shopping cart and gave up after it tipped on its side, sources said.
