Seattle police are investigating a body that was pushed from a car at Ninth Avenue South and South Dakota Street early Thursday.

A witness around 7:30 a.m. saw a black or dark colored Kia drive into the area and dump the body then drive away. A witness tried to follow the car but lost sight of it on Airport Way, police said.

Police spokesman Renee Witt said the victim, a male of unknown age, did not move or breathe and is believed to have already been dead when pushed from the car.

Police have cordoned off the area, located just west of Interstate 5, and are searching for the car, a 2005 Kia Rio, Washington license 549-UXG.
