Police and the coroner are investigating the discovery of a body inside a car parked on the lot of a shopping center.

It was found Friday night near the BJ's Wholesale Club in the Richland Marketplace in Richland Township, Bucks County.

A shopper told 69 News she noticed a smell coming from the car around 8:00 and called police.

She and other shoppers said they could not see clearly into the car because the windows were too foggy, but they did see a person in the driver's seat with the seat reclined.

Police set up a crime scene around the area while they and the coroner conducted their preliminary investigation.

Authorities have not released any information about the person's identity or the circumstances surrounding his or her death.
