The body of a Brooklyn man was found stuffed inside a trunk in his home earlier today, according to cops and relatives.

Stanley Wright, 61, was discovered dead inside his Chauncey Street home in Brownsville at about 3:30 a.m., cops said.

He had last been seen on Friday when he moved his car, relative said.

His son, Khalil, had reported him missing early this morning, relatives added.

Wright’s body was removed inside the trunk and the medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

The trunk is an heirloom that has been in the family for years, relatives said. Wright and his siblings kept their belongings in the trunk when they were children, relatives added.

Wright lived alone and his wife had died several years ago, neighbors said.

He was a retired music teacher and jazz musician who gave piano lessons to kids in the neighborhood, neighbors and family said. He performed under the name Suleiman Hakim.

His daughter, N’Bushe Wright, is a Hollywood actress who had bit parts in “Blade” and “Dead Presidents.”

She is on a return flight from LA to join her family, relatives said.
