The body of the man was found wrapped in cling film inside a wheelie bin after a passerby used it to move a television set to a nearby flat.
The discovery was made when the man tipped the contents of the bin on to the pavement in Essex Close.
He then continued to use the bin as a trolley, it is believed, before returning and calling police.
Mark Kenny, 52, whose flat overlooks the spot where the bin had been standing, said he saw "a young man at the wheelie bin, who appeared to be taking out rubbish from it".
"He explained that he wanted to use it as a trolley to move a TV set that I could see on a pathway to his flat," said Mr Kenny, who was on his way to the shops.
