Detroit police investigate after human remains found in home

An investigation is underway after human remains were found inside a Detroit home on Wednesday, police confirmed.

DPD says officers were called at about 10:45 a.m. to a residence in the 5200 block of South Clarendon Street. Police say there was work being done inside the home when the discovery was made. Police confirmed to CBS News Detroit that remains were found in the home.

Neighbors say the building where the remains were found sat vacant for a while. One neighbor, who requested anonymity, says a couple was renovating the home.

"They have been renovating it for about two years. I guess when they went into the basement today, the lady said the bones were in the boiler," the neighbor said.

Police are working to identify the remains.
