Homicide detectives and forensic investigators are trying to identify a person whose skull was found near a golf course in Vaughan on the weekend.
In what has been classified so far as a suspicious incident, investigators are trying to confirm whether the person was the victim of foul play, and how the skull wound up on the side of a highway.
York Regional Police do not know the person’s age, gender or race.
The skull was found by a passerby near Uplands Golf and Ski Club, near Bathurst Street and Highway 407, on Sunday at about 2:30 p.m.
The passerby took a photograph of the skull and sent it to police, who arrived at the scene with a coroner.
Shortly after the gruesome discovery, police confirmed skull is human.
The area where the skull was found was still sealed off by police tape Monday, as officers search for clues.
Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 1-866-287-5025 ext. 7865 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
