Horrifying moment Dewsbury taxi driver finds dead man in local car park

A taxi driver has been left shocked after finding a man's body in a local car park across the road from Dewsbury Bus Station.

The taxi driver who uses the car park during his shifts and another man who had parked his vehicle, discovered the man's body shortly after arriving at the car park.

Uniformed officers attended the scene along with detectives and paramedics.

The scene was sealed off and a spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Police were called to South Street, Dewsbury, at about 8.16am today after a male’s body was found by a member of the public. "Emergency services attended and initial enquiries into the circumstances are underway, but the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time." The car park has since been reopened, the Examiner Live first reported.
