Circumstances
Human skull found near bridge Published on 08/22/06 in the Post & Courier Staff report MOUNT PLEASANT A family on a fishing excursion Sunday afternoon found a human skull near the base of the Wando Bridge, authorities said. The Charleston County Coroner's Office confirmed the skull was human, but did not know how long it had been there. Testing was expected to take at least a week, Deputy Coroner Dottie Lindsay said. An initial inspection did not reveal any obvious signs of trauma. A Mount Pleasant couple and their two sons, ages 10 and 11, were in their small boat when the husband spotted a black object on the shoreline around 2 p.m., according to a police report. At first he thought it was an anchor. After calling 911, the husband scooped up the skull with a life preserver and moved it farther up the bank so the rising tide would not carry it away, the report states. The family met Mount Pleasant police officers at Remley's Point boat landing and took them back to the spot.
