POLICE were called to remove a body from a car in a remote Suffolk lane today after a man died in a suspected suicide.
The grim discovery was made by a member of the public, 200 yards down a track opposite Shop Road in Clopton. Officers arrived at the scene at 6.45am.
Police taped off the entrance to the path – which is regularly used by dog walkers – until the man's body could be removed.
The F registered blue Metro was parked slightly off the track in a passing place next to a high hedge beyond which is the village hall.

A police spokeswoman said officers were called to the suspected suicide just before 6.40am, but investigations revealed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the event.
The man's next of kin are being informed today, and no details of his identity are being released.
One resident who declined to be named said: "It is very sad that somebody has done this, I saw the black ambulance come to take somebody away.
"We walked down there last night at 8.30pm and the car was not there then. I don't recognise it as local. It is a much used path, by dog walkers mainly."
