Authorities are investigating skeletal remains that were found Friday afternoon in a creek off Grant Avenue near the Northeast Philadelphia Airport.
Officers discovered what they believed to be the remains of an adult just before 3 p.m.
Officials did not provide any more identifying information about the remains. They say they will be taken to the Medical Examiner's Office, where a cause of death will be determined.
Anyone with information about the remains is asked to contact Northeast detectives or the Philadelphia Police Department's anonymous tip line.
