Bone found at Gold Coast construction site is human, officials say
A bone found by construction workers in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood on Wednesday has turned out to be human, the Cook County medical examiner's office said today.
Chicago police said the remains were found at 1453 N. Dearborn St., which is an active construction site on Chicago's Near North Side. Shortly after the bone was found about 2 p.m. Wednesday, construction crews turned it over to authorities, police said.
John Mirabelli, a Chicago police spokesman, said an investigation is under way. Officials said it was possible the site where the remains were found was once a cemetery.
