SEATAC — A body has been found inside a suitcase at a SeaTac apartment complex.

King County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Stan Seo told the Seattle Times that investigators were called to an apartment complex at about 8:30 a.m. Monday after someone discovered the suitcase.

Seo says he doesn’t know the gender of the dead person.

This is the second time since May that the sheriff’s office has investigated a body found in luggage.

On May 27, the body of a 50- to 60-year-old woman was found in a suitcase in Kent. She has not been identified.

Seo says detectives don’t know whether the two incidents are connected.
