Greenwich – Human remains were discovered at a construction site in northern Greenwich on September 18 during a routine workday. The remains were uncovered as workers were operating an excavator, which disturbed the soil at the site, leading to the shocking find.
The Greenwich Police Department confirmed the discovery through a post on social media, informing the community about the situation. Upon learning of the remains, authorities promptly responded to the site, where they collected the bones for further examination. The remains have since been turned over to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which will now conduct a thorough investigation.
Initial assessments by investigators indicate that the remains appear to be of considerable age, although specific details about their origin or how long they may have been at the location have yet to be determined. Connecticut State Police are also involved in the investigation, offering assistance to local authorities as the situation unfolds.
The OCME is expected to carry out preliminary examinations of the remains to gather further insights into this significant find. Police have indicated that they will release additional information to the public as more details emerge from their investigation.
This discovery adds to a series of similar finds in various parts of the country, where human remains are occasionally unearthed during construction or excavation work. Typically, such instances necessitate immediate action from law enforcement and medical examiners to ensure that proper protocols are followed, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the remains can be conducted thoroughly.
In this case, the authorities are prioritizing the investigation to determine whether any criminal activity could be connected to the remains found. Meanwhile, the construction work at the site has been halted pending further results from the investigation.
