A man walking his dog in the Bronx found a woman?s severed shoulder and two hands in a plastic bag Tuesday, and the rest of the body turned out to be scattered in suitcases and another bag elsewhere in the neighborhood, authorities said.

The man first thought the bag was full of books, law enforcement officials told NBCNewYork.com. They said he moved to open it but noticed an SUV circling the block, so he took the bag around the corner and then found the body parts.

The man sent his 12-year-old son, who was along for the walk, to call police while the man kept walking the dog. Two blocks later, he found a suitcase and the dog sat next to it, and when the man opened it he found a woman?s torso, wearing a bra, law enforcement officials said.

Police later found a plastic bag with a leg and a foot inside, and nearby another suitcase with a leg and the woman?s head.

Authorities believe that the remains all belong to one person and that they have the complete body, NBCNewYork.com reported. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine a cause of death.
