Human skeletal remains found in trash bag by NYC sanitation workers

Sanitation workers discovered a woman’s skeletal remains inside a garbage bag while working by a Queens park near John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday, according to authorities and sources.

Upon arriving, officers learned that New York City Department of Sanitation workers had made the grisly discovery of the human skeletal remains in a garbage bag, cops said.

Two supervised sanitation workers had loaded the covered remains into the hopper of a vehicle before noticing a foul odor, sources said.

The workers were concerned that the bag, which appeared to be wrapped in tape and rope according to a photo obtained by The Post, could contain a body, and contacted authorities, according to sources.

The investigation into the findings remains ongoing.
