The body was found inside a Ford Ka parked just off King Lane.

Detective Inspector James Entwistle of Leeds District CID, said: “The death is being treated as non-suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

“As part of our enquiries I would like to speak to anyone who might have seen a dark-coloured Ford Ka in the church car park today or in the last 24 hours.
