A body discovered Thursday night in the parking lot of a Douglasville Walmart may have been there for weeks, police told WSB TV.

The man's body was found inside a car parked in a far corner of the parking lot.

It is unclear how the person died, and the man has not been identified.

The car, with the body still inside, was taken to the Georgia Crime Lab, to be investigated for the cause of death.
