Human Skull Found in Mar del Plata

Mar del Plata, Jan 4 — A grim discovery disrupted the tranquility of the start of the tourist season in Mar del Plata. The discovery caused astonishment among passersby in the area. According to the Argentine News Agency, the incident occurred near Alem Street at 4900, when a resident spotted the bone remains among construction debris and garbage. This Saturday morning, a human skull was found in a dump truck located in front of the exclusive Playa Grande Golf Club, an area with high tourist and residential traffic. Even if they appear to be old or for study purposes, justice must always intervene to determine their origin, time of death, and rule out the commission of a crime.

It is essential to immediately call 911 and local police. After the 911 call, patrol officers cordoned off the area pending the arrival of the Scientific Police. The main hypothesis: crime or study? The investigation, led by prosecutor Carlos Russo, is advancing with a hypothesis aimed at bringing calm:

No signs of recent violence: sources familiar with the case indicated that preliminarily, there are no indications linking the skull to a current criminal act. Chemical preservation: experts noted that the skull shows signs of having been chemically treated, suggesting it could be improperly discarded study anatomical material. Pending examinations: final forensic results are awaited to confirm the origin and rule out other possibilities.
