A staff of the Tokyo Station was shocked after he opened an abandoned suitcase which has been left unclaimed for a month. He opened it only to find a decomposing body of an elderly woman inside. The yellow suitcase was left in an open coin locker near the station’s Marunouchi South Exit in late April, when it was picked up by an employee of the company that manages the lockers.

The suitcase was originally left in a station locker, but after no-one returned to claim it, it was taken to left luggage and opened by the staff.
"There was an abnormal odor when we opened the suitcase. Then we saw hair," an anonymous employee told reporters.

The victim is a woman aged between 70 and 90 and about 140cm (4ft 7ins) tall.
She had been folded into a yellow suitcase measuring about 70cm by 50cm by 25cm.

Police said there were no obvious injuries to the body, and were investigating the possible cause of her death.
Police were also examining security cameras footage trying to ascertain who left the case behind.

The locker company employee said the suitcase was not in the locker on the morning of April 25 — the day before it was found — narrowing the timeline for its placement.
