Human skull found in Minneapolis park

The Hennepin County medical examiner's office is trying to determine the age, sex and race of a human skull found in a Minneapolis park.

Minneapolis Park Police say the skull was found Sunday near the Minnehaha Falls off-leash dog park. WCCO-AM reports it was found in a wet area where there is a natural spring.

A forensic anthropologist did determine it was a human skull, but it will take more time to determine the age, sex and race of the skull.
