Parts of a human skeleton were found Friday morning in the waters of Alexander Stream, a national park in the Sharon region. The remains were pulled out of the water by police and volunteer divers.
Police forces on the site opened an investigation and are working to identify the body and the circumstances of its death. An initial estimate indicates that it is a female skeleton and has not been at the site for a long time.
The police noted that the stream has undergone intensive rehabilitation and cleaning in recent years.
Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen arrived on the scene and he is being updated as to the details of the case.
Another mysterious incident took place Wednesday in Ramat Gan when an unidentified body was found in a burning garbage bin on the corner of Rashi and Ha'amal Streets. The police suspect that the body is that of a woman who was killed.
At around 1:30 am, firefighters were dispatched to the scene. While working to put out the blaze, they noticed the body. Police and forensics experts were notified and called to the scene to collect evidence. A Magistrates' Court judge issued a gag order on most of the case's details.
