Animals Dig Up Human Bones In Stamford: Report

STAMFORD, CT — Human bones were discovered this week in an old cemetery behind the Schilo Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Hope Street, which police believe were dug up by animals, reports the Stamford Advocate.

The bones, which included a portion of a skull, are believed to have been dislodged from rotted wooden caskets. Stamford police have collected the bones - in what the Advocate stresses in a respectful manner - and they have been delivered to the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for testing.

According to the publication, the cemetery dates back to the mid-1800s, and has members from such old-time Stamford families as "the Scofields, Taylors and Quigleys" among those buried there.
