Investigators said the trunk of the car was closed, but there was a smell coming from the vehicle. When medics responded to the scene, the trunk was opened and a body was found wrapped in a sheet, police said.
The identity of the body has not been determined, and the cause of death remains under investigation. The case is being handled by the police department's homicide unit.
Police told NBC10 that the Dodge Charger had been reported stolen in Southwest Philadelphia on Friday. The vehicle was towed to be swabbed for fingerprints and DNA.
