Skeletal remains have been found at construction site in Orlando, Florida, police say.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office tells Fox35 Orlando that workers were digging near 6227 West Colonial Drive in the Pine Hills neighborhood around 5 p.m. Tuesday when they made the grisly discovery.
Police said information about the identity of the remains and the cause of death were not immediately available.
The construction site is owned by a self-storage developer, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

In January, the developer purchased the land for $835,000 from a seller who had a stake in the land for more than 17 years, the Orlando Sentinel also reported.
The workers reportedly were setting up a stormwater management system when they discovered the skeletal remains.
