A Florida man s search for his loose chicken caused him to uncover a body in an empty lot on Wednesday.
The man, who identified himself only by his first name James, told WPBF that he went looking for a chicken who had left his yard in West Palm Beach when he came across a shocking sight next door.
I just found something weird and I kick it and when I see something weird like a skull it was scary and I said I dont know what this is, he said.
Police confirmed it was human skeletal remains buried in a shallow grave.
Its weird, you know. I never expected that thing in the back of my house, James said.
West Palm Beach Police said its working to determine identifying markers on the remains, including gender.
