A human skeleton was discovered in an abandoned, graffiti-covered constructing on a University of California, Berkeley campus, officials say.
School officials last week notified students that what seemed to be a human skeleton was present in a constructing on Clark Kerr campus, situated a few mile south of the university’s important site, the university police department said.
The constructing were the bones were discovered “has not been occupied for a few years,” officials said.
Authorities said the stays were “skeletonized” and that it’s unclear how long they could have been there.
There are not any outstanding cases of missing individuals from the college, officials said. Authorities have yet to no less than publicly discover the stays, and officials haven’t even said if the skeleton belongs to a person or a lady.
A person working near where the body was found told KTVU there was a shocking amount of police activity in the realm after the gruesome discovery.
“We saw a whole lot of police activity. There was a construction site. They were like demo-ing all the things out of this constructing and impulsively just stopped. The following day we saw the coroner come. Loads of police activity,” he said.
The unidentified man added, “It doesn’t surprise me that much.
“There’s a whole lot of homeless activity here, so it was an abandoned constructing.”
The Alameda County Coroner’s Office is investigating, and the reason for death will probably be shared following an autopsy, officials said.
