Human Skull Found Along Dania Beach Canal

A grisly discovery was made Sunday on bank of a canal in Dania Beach.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said they received word around 11 a.m. that a human body part had been found in the 800 block of Old Griffin Road.

According to BSO spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright an employee from a used auto parts store, Millions of Parts, said he found what appeared to be a human head. He told deputies he found the skull when a man, who works across the street from the scene, was cleaning the canal bank with a backhoe.

The Sheriff's Office has taped off the area and is searching it to see if they are any other remains. Detectives from Ft. Lauderdale are assisting in the search on the land as BSO's Dive Team searches the canal itself.

Coleman-Wright said it's too early to say if Sunday's finding is connected with Fort Lauderdale's body parts case.
