Construction workers find human remains at abandoned house in Gray’s Ferry

Construction workers found skeletal human remains while cleaning out a house in Gray’s Ferry this morning, police said.

Workers renovating an abandoned house on the 1200 block of South Harmony Street called police shortly before 8 a.m. after finding a set of bones on-site.

Though the Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the remains to be human, they were not yet able to determine a race, age or gender. More information will be released pending a full examination.
