Human Skeleton Discovered in Unused Building on UC Berkeley Campus, Investigation Launched

On Tuesday, the University of California Police Department opened an investigation after a human skeleton was discovered in an unused building on the UC Berkeley campus. The building, located on the school’s Clark Kerr Campus, is about a mile from the main campus and has not been occupied for many years.

The University of California Police Department said in a statement that it is not clear how many years the remains have been in the shuttered building. There are no outstanding cases of missing persons from the Berkeley campus community, the statement said.

An unidentified person who was working in the area told KTVU that he saw a lot of police activity when the remains were discovered. The Alameda County Coroner’s Office has also opened an investigation into the remains, according to the statement.

The University of California Police Department is asking anyone with information about the skeleton to contact them. They are also asking anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area to come forward. The investigation is ongoing.
