A morning walk turned into horror for a beachgoer when something resembling human remains appeared in the sand, according to Florida investigators.
The discovery was made around 7:45 a.m. Thursday, May 2, in an area adjacent to oceanfront homes in North Palm Beach, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. The neighborhood is near the prestigious Lost Tree Club golf course, about an 80-mile drive north of Miami.
Investigators concluded that the remains were likely human, but little else was discovered, including the cause of death. They “were mostly skeletonized,” WPTV reported.
“A resident walking on the beach discovered what appears to be human remains washed up on the shore,” the sheriff’s office said.
“Forensic investigators arrived on site to take possession of the remains. The remains are not identifiable, so DNA will play a role in this investigation.
Detectives from the Violent Crimes Division and crime scene units also responded to the scene, officials said.
The 11600 block of Turtle Road, where the remains were found, is on a barrier island lined with private homes that sell for up to $40 million. It’s just north of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.
