The Forest Preserve District of Kane County said a death investigation is underway after an apparent human skull was found Saturday in Raceway Woods in Carpentersville.
A resident reported finding a skull in a remote and wooded area of the forest preserve, sparking a response from numerous departments and the Kane County Coroner's office.
“The preserve was immediately closed and an area was cordoned off for an investigation. In addition to the skull, more bones were found in the area that appear to be human," Forest Preserve District of Kane County Director of Public Safety Paul Burger. "Evidence collected at the scene by Fox Valley Major Crimes Task Force evidence technicians and the Kane County Coroner’s office was transported for processing and possible identification."
