Authorities in Palm Beach County are investigating after human remains were discovered at a construction site earlier this week.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 3:08 p.m. Monday to the site at 4489 Davis Road in Lake Worth after receiving a report of possible human remains.
Once on scene, deputies located what appeared to be a femur and a pelvic bone. The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office and experts from Florida Gulf Coast University were immediately notified.
A formal recovery operation began Tuesday, and investigators are continuing to search the property for additional remains. A second forensic team is expected to sift through the area on Wednesday.
“All recovered skeletal remains will be transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office for further examination and identification,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Authorities have not yet released information about the person’s identity or the possible circumstances surrounding their death.
The investigation remains ongoing.
