"He was [in his] late 50s or 60s, had the same brown jacket on, he was childlike in a way, he just had no expressions, nothing," one neighbour said, as quoted by news.com.au.
"The body has not been identified and the death is being treated as suspicious," New South Wales Police said in a statement, as quoted by TVNZ.
The body was there for a significant amount of time and was badly decomposed, so a post-mortem examination is now required to determine its gender.
The police consider the situation as suspicious and are investigating it.
