Human skull, other bones discovered in field near Lake Lewisville Dam, authorities say
A human skull and other bones were discovered Tuesday in a field near the Lake Lewisville Dam, a Lewisville city spokesman said.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office believes the bones are of one person who was in his or her late 40s, but could not determine if it was a man or woman, city of Lewisville spokesman, Matt Martucci, said Wednesday.
A geologist working in a field found the bones about 2 p.m. Tuesday in the 2300 block of E. Texas 114 Business, just east of Old Denton Road.
The medical examiner’s office estimated the bones have been in the field for about three years. It will take about two months to complete forensic tests to determine sex and cause of death.
