City medical examiners are investigating after police discovered possible human remains near a Queens park, police officials said Tuesday.
According to the NYPD, a passerby called 911 around 10:45 a.m. Sunday, describing skeletal remains in bushes near Sutter and North Conduit avenues in Ozone Park. The area is home to several different green spaces.
Officers arrived at the scene and confirmed the findings, police said.
Officials said the remains were significantly decomposed, so the city’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will work to determine whether they were human and, if so, how the person died.
This story is based on preliminary data from police and may be updated.
