Body laid for days in Cairns CBD The body of a man laid undiscovered for days in the Cairns CBD before a woman spotted the remains. POLICE say there's nothing suspicious about the death of a man whose severely decomposed body went undiscovered for days in the heart of Cairns. Officers say it had been there for several days. Police on Wednesday said the death was not suspicious. A local business manager Brendan Turner, who works near where the body was found, said it was a sad situation. "How can someone lie dead on a city median strip and no one notice?" he told The Courier-Mail. Mr Turner said the road was one of the city's busiest. No details have been released about the dead man.
