Body parts have been found in a sewer line in Macomb County.
It's the third time in a little more than a year parts workers have discovered small, fleshy parts of a human being in county sewers.
The latest find took place Wednesday on a grate in the line located along 15 Mile, east of Maple Lane in Sterling Heights by workers from Inland Water Pollution Control who were making repairs to the sewer system, Christina Hall reports in the Free Press.
Police said in a news release that there is a strong possibility the body parts are medical waste that was improperly disposed of via the sewer system at an unknown location.
They are very similar in size and clean-cut appearance to body parts found last year less than a quarter-mile away in Sterling Heights and later in Warren. As with the other incidents, no vital organs or appendages were discovered, police said.
