Police say a body was discovered in a dumpster downtown Wednesday afternoon.
Springfield Police got the call around 12:45 p.m. about the body below the Martin Luther King Bridge at 602 E. Phelps.
A passerby walked into the crime lab and had the crime lab call 911 to report the finding.
Officers on scene say it appears to be transient who'd been dead at least a day before his body was discovered. Bedding and personal items were found inside the dumpster, indicating the man may have been living there.
Officers aren't sure if it's a heat-related death, but there are no obvious signs of foul play.
"It's not been linked to heat, but transients in the area are, when we contact them and are suffering from heat illness, taken to hospitals also advised to go to cooling centers that are open at the time, churches," says Officer Lee Walker.
The medical examiner has removed the body. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday in Columbia, Missouri.
Police have identified the man, but next of kin have not been notified.

It's Bright and Sunny at the Marimekko at Crate & Barrel on Madison
Today, Marimekko continues its Finnish invasion of New York by opening its second shop-within-a-shop at the Crate & Barrel on Madison Avenue. If you recall, we partied back with the Finns back in October for the unveiling of their first venture at the Soho Crate & Barrel locale and we're also anxiously awaiting the label's flagship to open in the Toy Building this fall.
But back to the Madison Avenue launch, which kicked off morning—thankfully providing a much needed burst of bright, sunshiny color and fresh, crisp flavor to this spirit-dampening, coif-decimating muggy weather. The shop is located on the ground level toward the back right and is a bit smaller than the Soho outpost at a pinch less than 1000 square feet.
Bags, paper napkins and Marimekko for boys, this way>>
Here, Marimekko and Crate & Barrel shoppers will find the classics as well as the most recent designs, which will be continually introduced four times a year. For the crafty and Marimekko-crazed, the shop boasts a well-stocked by-the-yard section, which starts around $43 per yard for basic light textiles ideal for pop-art curtains and bedding whatnot and going up to $65+ for waxed-sheets (perfect for easy-clean tablecloths and messy kids' rooms) and heavier-knit upholstery fabrics.
For those more craft-challenged, there is a plethora of bedding, towels, curtains and even paper napkins in classic designs like the oft-copied poppy, Crate & Barrel exclusive issues (classic prints in special color schemes), and the all-encompassing (i.e. masculine enough for the boys) Ruutukaava graphic print. Bedding starts around $24.95 for a pillow set. An exec dressed in a Marimekko ensemble pointed out that the patterns and graphics are meant to be mixed.
There are also non-householdy items like coin purses ($16 to $18), light totes ($18), fabric-covered notebooks ($20+), whimsical umbrellas ($40), and super adorbs pastille tines ($4 each). For those in search of a fab gift set, check out the Japanese cult-pub Mook combo, featuring a mini-canvas tote and a small zip-pouch,—all for $29. A range of canvas bags in exuberant, color-popping prints are also on tap, starting at $85 for the small purses and ranging up to about $129 for the bright, solid neon yellow or orange messenger bags.
