The University of California Police Department is investigating after human remains were found on the UC Berkeley campus.
According to the department’s crime log, the remains were found around noon on Tuesday on the school’s Clark Kerr Campus, about one mile from the main campus.
The person’s identity and cause of death were not immediately known.
UCPD could not immediately be reached for comment by USA TODAY. But the department told CNN the “skeletonized” human remains were found “in a building which has not been occupied for many years.”
“It is not clear how many years they have been there,” police told the outlet in a statement. “There are no outstanding cases of missing individuals from the campus community.”
