An urgent appeal has been issued by the force, who believe the man was hit by a car before being moved to Cash's Park off Daimler Road at 17:00 GMT on Friday. A member of the public found the man, who is believed to have been aged between 40 and 50 years old. He was found in a Coventry City Council bin with a green lid, said West Midlands Police, who are working with the council to find out where the bin has been moved from. Det Ch Insp Phil Poole, from the Major Crime Unit, said: "We are keeping an open mind, but we believe that this man has been hit by a vehicle, and then has been moved to the park. "I urgently want to hear from anyone who believes they may have hit someone in their car yesterday, or who has noticed a change in behaviour from someone they know who drives, or who has noticed damage to a vehicle. A blue forensics tent has been erected in a wooded area of the park, which is quiet apart from a few joggers and dog walkers.
