Authorities in Denver are investigating why a body discovered in a parking garage elevator remained there for what may have been nearly a month.

Police had not identified the victim or the cause of death as of Wednesday, Aug. 2. According to Denver7 , the victim is a male.

Local residents noticed a putrid smell in the hallway of Woodstream Village Apartments and notified the building’s management about two weeks ago.

“It’s pretty concerning that they would just kind of blow us off and it’s turned out to be something so serious,” said Keith Messina, one of the tenants.
