QUEENS, NY — Human bones were found in the basement of a vacant Queens building, according to police and reports.
The skeleton found by a construction worker Monday afternoon inside a Richmond Hill building has since been confirmed to be human by the city's medical examiner, the New York Daily News first reported. Representatives for the medical examiner's office didn't return Patch's request for comment.
The grim discovery was made about 1:55 p.m. by a worker inside 119-22 Jamaica Ave., near 120th Street, NYPD officials told Patch. Cops responded to a 911 call about the bones and began an investigation, which is ongoing, authorities said.
