Man found dead in a bin behind a Salvos store is identified
A man who was found dead inside an industrial bin behind a Salvation Army store has been identified. Police were called to the scene in Bellerive, Hobart, at about 9am on Monday after a garbage contractor made the grim discovery. It's understood the bin was located at the end of the driveway behind a hairdressing salon and a Salvation Army Store on Percy Street. The garbage contractor initially thought the body inside the bin was a mannequin display. On Tuesday, detectives have since identified the deceased man as 45-year-old Luke Jon Telega. An autopsy performed on Tuesday revealed Mr Telega had no visible signs of injury. On Tuesday, Detective Inspector David Gill said police were keeping an open-mind as to the circumstances surrounding Mr Telega's death. 'Police continue to maintain an open mind and treat the death as a case of misadventure, or foul play, or a potential combination of both,' Det Insp Gill said. Police released pictures of Mr Telega, with the permission of his family, in a bid for more information about his movements in the lead up to his death. Mr Telega was last seen alive on Saturday at around 10pm when he was visiting his children. 'But there remains a gap in the timeline until the discovery of his body by a garbage contractor on Monday morning,' Det Insp Gill said. Det Insp Gill added people struggling with homelessness are known to frequent the area behind the shops on Percy Street. Mr Telega was known to police and had been homeless for at least several months. It is unclear if he was sleeping inside the bin. Investigators are particularly interested in Mr Telega's movements on Sunday - the 35 hours between when he was last seen and when his body was discovered. 'Detectives have today spoken with members of the public, conducted further door knocking of homes and businesses and reviewed CCTV footage,' Det Insp Gill said.
