MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb Coroner Leon Jones says a human skull was found in a bucket at Macon’s Rose Hill Cemetery on Wednesday.

Jones says the man who found it notified him and the cemetery manager.

Upon arrival, Jones says he went down a step of steps toward the river and made a right going east toward Spring Street. That’s when he says he saw a rubber snake, a walking cane and what appeared to be tree limbs in a bucket. He says a skull was also in the bucket.

“From the time I arrived I knew this was a human skull,” Jones wrote in response to a 41NBC inquiry about the discovery.

He says he notified the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
