Man tries to recycle human skulls

A man tried to recycle skulls by tossing them into a pile of recyclable materials via the junk removal service company that he works for. When the skulls arrived at a garbage transfer station in Connecticut, an employee saw them and phoned police. According to SF Gate, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that the skulls were human. Police are now working to figure out where the skulls may have come from.

“We are trying to determine whether they came from a grave robbery, if they were bought online or something more sinister,” Stamford police Lt. Diedrich Hohn said.

The man who recycled the skulls may have thought that they were plastic — at least that’s the theory of solid waste supervisor Dan Colleluori. 

The man was cleaning out the home of another man who had recently passed away when he came across the items and put them in a pile of recyclables, evidently not thinking that they were real. 

Police have already contacted the deceased man’s family in an effort to solve the mystery - the father of the deceased man said the skulls were purchased by his late son online for more than $1,000 apiece from a website that sells skulls, skeletons and other anatomical items.”

The man’s dad seemed happy that the skulls were removed but is cooperating with police by telling them everything that he knows about where his son got the skulls and what they were used for.

“He would have them on display in the living room, and I’m glad that they’re gone now,” dead man’s dad said.
