Macabre discovery in a garage in Grenoble. A human skull wrapped in newspaper more than fifty years old was discovered Thursday, October 31.
The interregional police directorate (DIPN) of Isère indicates that it has carried out the “discovery in a garage of a human skull, in a cauldron wrapped in a newspaper dating from 1967”.
The skull was discovered around 1 p.m. in the Chorier-Berriat district, a former industrial district in the west of the city, she details in a press release.
The garage was not “not really abandoned but not used for a long time” Grenoble prosecutor Eric Vaillant told AFP.
“The person who discovered the skull comes from the Paris region, she inherited the garage of a deceased great-uncle and she was clearing it out before selling it”said the prosecution.
“An investigation into the causes of death has been opened and the skull will be sent for expertise for dating”according to Mr. Vaillant, specifying that at this stage “the criminal trail is not more privileged than any other”.
