Body found in car near Gatwick Airport

A body has been found in a parked car at an industrial estate near Gatwick Airport. Police were called to Whittle Way in Northgate, Crawley, at 10.30am on Friday following reports that the body had been discovered. The vehicle, a white BMW, was covered in dust and appeared to be abandoned, with speculation the corpse could have been there for weeks, or even months. Council workers had put a warning notice on the car, which they believed to have been abandoned. The notice, dated May 19, warned the owner of the car of their intention to tow it away. Despite giving the owner seven days, the car was still in place at Northgate when the body was found. The white BMW had been mentioned on local Crawley Facebook posts in recent weeks, but people were unaware there was a dead body inside. 'If this is your car, my advice is to get it removed before the removal truck does,' a post said. 'It seems such a strange [situation] , the car looks in great condition … I just hope the owner is ok.' Forensic officers were seen examining the car, which was parked at a postal depot a few miles from Gatwick Airport. Sussex Police said they were yet to identify the body, that the death was 'not currently being treated as suspicious' and that a report is being prepared for the coroner. 'Enquiries are ongoing to identify the individual and establish the full circumstances of the situation,' the police said.
