Human remains found at Kansas City dump site

Kansas City police are investigating human remains found Wednesday morning during a city cleanup project in the 2800 block of Highland Avenue.

Police were called about 10 a.m. after workers found bones at the dump site. There was nothing found to immediately determine the cause of death. The Jackson County medical examiner will further examine the remains, police said.

Investigators will work the case as a dead body until the medical examiner determines the cause of death.
