Someone donated a human skull with real teeth and a fake eye to a Goodwill in Arizona, the Goodyear Police Department said.
There was a fake eyeball in the left socket and about a half-dozen original teeth still attached, but the jaw was missing. The manager called the Goodyear Police Department.
Police seized the skull and sent it to Maricopa County’s medical examiner’s office, which confirmed the skull was real, police spokeswoman Lisa Berry told The Washington Post. “They were probably shocked enough to call the police in concern,” Berry said. “Something like that is not your usual find.”Preliminary examinations determined that the skull was not connected to any crimes, Berry said, but the medical examiner’s office is investigating where the skull came from.A Goodwill spokesperson said in a statement that employees at its Goodyear, Ariz., store “followed protocol” by calling police on Tuesday immediately after finding the skull.
