Apparent Human Remains Scattered Around SW Miami-Dade Cemetery

"Man, it made my skin crawl."

Police are investigating after a man found what appeared to be decaying human remains scattered around a cemetery in Miami.

The man, who wanted to be identified as Jermaine, said he was painting his grandparents' grave with his father at Graceland Memorial Park South on Wednesday afternoon when they made the discovery.

"I didn't believe it until I seen it myself," Jermaine told NBC 6.

Miami-Dade police confirmed they received a call at around 3:40 p.m. about the remains and sent a homicide detective to investigate.

Jermaine said he saw two hands, a foot and another bone that may have been a leg or thigh bone. He immediately located the staff at the cemetery and reported what he witnessed.

"Man, it made my skin crawl," Jermaine said. "I'm not used to seeing nothing like that."

A general manager with Graceland said the cemetery is cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
