DETROIT (WWI) - A new homeowner was horrified to find a mummified human torso on Detroit's west side.
Detroit police were called following the disturbing discovery, shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday, to a home in the 16000 block of Tracey, in the area of Puritan and Schafer Hwy.
The resident, who recently purchased the property, led officers to the basement where he'd found the torso while doing some renovations.
Police said the person to whom the torso belonged has not been identified; and while a gender was not immediately confirmed, officers said they suspect it was a woman.
The torso was removed from the home and is being examined, police said. No other body parts were found at the scene.
No further details were released as an investigation continues.
