Human Remains

An investigation is underway after a man found part of a human leg in the Delaware River near Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood on Thursday.

Authorities say a man who was burying a pet in the backyard of the home he rents in Modesto discovered human remains.

A 51-year-old man killed his 7-year-old son, 48-year-old wife and the family dog before taking his own life in a quiet New Jersey community, authorities said Thursday.

It’s a largely overlooked but gory reality of the New York City subway system: When someone takes their life by jumping in front of a train, police need to find a place to put the mutilated body until a medical examiner truck arrives.

State police are investigating the discovery of skeletal human remains found in a wooded area just outside Delaware’s capital city.
