BLANDFORD, Mass. (WWLP) – A hunter discovered what is believed to be a human skull in the woods in Blandford on Sunday.
Massachusetts State Police spokesman Dave Procopio told 22News a trooper was dispatched to the woods off Herrick Road and confirmed the skull appeared to be human.

Procopio said the investigation into the identity of the person whose partial remains were found is ongoing.
