KEY BISCAYNE, FLA. (WSVN) - Miami-Dade Police are investigating after a human head was found ashore on a Key Biscayne beach.
The remains were reportedly found at 251 Crandon Blvd., Tuesday morning.
Area resident James Harrington’s usual morning walk took a grim turn due to the disturbing discovery.
“It’s a very sad situation,” he said. “Well, unfortunately, it seemed like there was a body in a black bag.”
When asked what was found on the shore, a spokesperson for MDPD replied, “Looks like a head.”
This picturesque section of Key Biscayne went from tranquil to terrible, as officers closed off part of the beach.
Officers with MDPD and Key Biscayne Police spent the morning investigating on all-terrain vehicles and a police boat.
“About six or seven police officers there, who were very keen that nobody came near the scene,” said Harrington.
Thursday night, investigators confirmed it was a head that belonged to a male.
“I’ve never seen a situation like this in Key Biscayne before,” said Harrington. “Very sad day for the family involved, yeah, and for the whole community.”
The medical examiner will work to identify the remains, as detectives attempt to determine what happened.
As of late Tuesday night, neither police department has issued a statement on the matter.
