Mystery as headless decomposed body is found behind a Burger King after passerby spots ‘bones and skin’
A HEADLESS corpse was found behind a Burger King on Tuesday prompting an immediate investigation.
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office in Georgia is trying to determine how the body ended up in that location.
Coroner Leon Jones said someone was walking through the woods when they found the body and called the police.
A skull wasn't located at the scene, according to Jones, just bones and skin remained along with the surrounding earth used to preserve the evidence.
"We're going to need to get a shovel and dig around the body so we can get everything in the body bag so the GBI Crime Lab will have all of the body to process," Jones told .
The sex or race of the person could not be confirmed at this current time.

A pair of black tennis shoes were also found near the body, but Jones said it is unknown if they belonged to the person.
As of now, there isn't a time frame for how long the body may have been there.
"But we do know that this body has been here for a long time, that's it," he said.
