ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) Albuquerque police are investigating why a man was left to die in a dumpster near Vermont and Central on Saturday night.

Police were responding to a stolen vehicle call when a trail of blood led them to a dumpster containing a badly hurt man.

Medics were called out, but the man died shortly after emergency crews arrived.

Police have not said who the man was or how he ended up in the trash bin.

For now, investigators aren't sure if he was connected in any way to the stolen vehicle.

Police are waiting for a cause of death from the Office of the Medical Investigator. They also must notify his family before his name can be released.

If you have any information about the incident, you're asked to call police immediately.
