A body found in a park in White Plains, New York contained 50 packets of heroin. It is believed the person died when one of the packets broke open inside him due to the fact that there were no visible signs of trauma on his body. The heroin was found during the unidentified man's autopsy and is worth an estimated $100,000.

Police believe the man may have been a drug mule who traveled from the Dominican Republic. They do not believe it was the expectant drug dealers who put the man in the suitcase since they would most likely have removed the heroin before getting rid of the body.

The body was discovered by a parks worker who found the black canvas suitcase at the entrance to the park. The employee thought it abandoned and when he went to remove it, the victim's leg popped out. Police have not been able to identify who the man is.

This case shows one of the ugliest downsides of trafficking drugs in the country. Florida is a major hub for trafficking not only in the southeastern part of the country, but in the country as a whole.
