A human heart in a bag was found late last month near a convenience store parking lot authorities said.
Paramedics who were at the convenience store waiting for calls on Aug. 25 discovered the heart, according to The Reflector.
The paramedics had just returned from a call when they spotted a bag in a nearby field. The bag contained a slightly decomposed heart.
"I haven't heard anything like that," Norwalk police Chief Dave Light told The Reflector.
The heart was examined by the coroner and was also sent to a veterinarian for identification, Light said.
"They're 95 percent sure it was human," Light told The Reflector. "But they want to make 100 percent sure."
Authorities said there are no unsolved cases involving a body missing a heart.
