• Some Bones From Unearthed Cemetery End Up In Trash

  PHILADELPHIA -- Workers at a Philadelphia demolition site made a gruesome discovery Monday morning -- a pile of human bones that had been tossed into a trash container.

  
  

  On Oct. 1, excavation crews at the 6th Street site unearthed an unmarked cemetery and human skeletal remains. The builder was ordered by the courts to rebury the bones at a proper burial site.

  
  

  Sources said a construction crew whisked the bones away Monday afternoon in a truck after shoveling the remains out of the trash container and into a garbage bag.
