SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. (AP) — What are being described as “human body parts” have been found on a Swampscott beach.
The Essex district attorney’s office said in a statement that a civilian out for a walk on King’s Beach found the body parts on Wednesday morning and called local police.
The remains were found near a lobster trap that apparently washed up on shore.
The body parts will be examined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in an effort to determine an identity.
