Police are investigating after an apparent human skull was found among donations at a Goodwill in Goodyear, Arizona. Officers were called to the store on Tuesday night.
Police took "what appears to be an actual human skull" and transported it to the medical examiner's office for further examination.
After observing the skull, the medical examiner believes it is historic. Officials believe there is no forensic significance and may not be associated with any crime.
“This is an unusual one,” said Lisa Berry with the Goodyear Police Department.
