The discovery was made Friday afternoon in a wooded area near the 79th Street Transverse behind the museum, police said.

According to NBC4, the remains were found inside a tent after a jogger alerted a Parks employee.

Cops said a medical examiner determined the remains to be human, and that it appeared to be a “natural death.”

Other information wasn’t available Friday.
