Human remains found in Roseburg
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Medical examiners are working to identify a human skull that was found early Wednesday morning in Roseburg.
Officials said the remains were found around 8 a.m. by an Oregon Department of Transportation crew.
The crew was doing routine maintenance work on I-5 northbound at exit 124 when they found the skull on a hillside.
“The human skeletal remains were found to be actual human remains," said Oregon State Police Lieutenant Steve Mitchell. "We found at least one bone. We are now in the process of having the County Medical Examiner work with the State Medical Examiner’s office to try to identify who the skeletal remains may be.”
Mitchell said the remains are skeletal, meaning the person didn't die any time recently.
