Cox's Bazar Sadar Police Station OC Ilias Khan said locals spotted the body around 9am and informed police.
Officers later recovered it hanging with a nylon rope. No injury marks were found except around the neck, he added.
"Initially, we believe it to be a suicide. However, investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause," said the OC.
Local journalist SM Gafur said he saw Amin on Wednesday night in Chittagong's Notun Bridge area, where Amin mentioned meeting his uncle. Three unidentified youths were with him, and later around 9:30pm, he boarded a Cox's Bazar-bound Marsha Transport bus.
