Philadelphia police are investigating after the discovery of human remains in a construction trailer in Southwest Philadelphia on Saturday night. According to FOX29, the grisly find was located inside a white construction trailer at 51st Street and Grays Avenue shortly after 7 p.m. The condition of the body was such that its "severe decomposition" has made it difficult for authorities to identify the age or gender of the deceased.
The lack of immediate identifiers has kept details scarce, stoking questions within a community searching for answers. As mentioned by NBC Philadelphia, the remains were found at approximately 7:07 p.m., but further information has yet to be released by police officials. An update from law enforcement promised new details will be forthcoming as they become available.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not determined the cause of death. The trailer, now the focus of the inquiry, sits at a highlighted intersection.
