Landscaping crew finds human skull while working in Rockdale County
Investigators in Rockdale County are trying to identify a human skull that was found by a landscaping crew among a cluster of weeds, officials said.
A crew found the human skull as they were clearing kudzu from the side of Ebenezer Road on Monday afternoon, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Authorities did not release any details on how the victim may have died, but said investigators later found socks and a pair of men’s boxers near the skull, the news station reported.
The Rockdale sheriff’s office said it has been at least six months since a crew has worked in the location where the skull was found. It is not clear how long the remains were in the area.
The investigation is ongoing.
