Gwinnett County police are investigating the discovery of a partial skeleton that was found near Buford on Thursday.
A person walking through a heavily wooded area off Brown Road between Sunny Hill Road and Morgan Road spotted a skull and other skeletal remains a few hundred yards from the roadway, said Cpl. Edwin Ritter, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. The site is less than a mile east of the Mall of Georgia.
The remains are believed to be those of a black or Hispanic male, Ritter said. Investigators were back at the scene Friday searching for additional remains.
"It appears the bones have been there for quite some time," Ritter said in a statement. No cause of death has been determined.
