The human remains were taken to the medical examiner's office where it was determined that the hacked-off body parts included a man's torso, two arms and two hands.
Police were checking video surveillance cameras in buildings at the corner of East Broadway and Forsythe to see if anyone was caught on tape depositing the suitcase on the sidewalk.
