SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Police Department is investigating a report of human remains, including bones, found in a fire pit on Fiesta Island near Ocean Beach and Mission Bay around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.
According to police, a man discovered a mess after an apparent party and decided to clean it up. As he was cleaning up the area, he came across what looked to be human remains, which included bones, teeth, and a skull. The man then reported it to a lifeguard on the beach.
