Human skull found along southern James Bay coast

An investigation is underway after a human skull was found by a group of hunters along the James Bay coast near Moosonee and Moose Factory.
The skull was found at a location known as East Point, located about 70 kilometres east of the James Bay communities at the north end of Hannah Bay.
Members of the Moosonee Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to the report on May 8.
Det. Sgt. Daniel Foy of OPP’s North East Region Crime Unit in Timmins said the department has determined the skull is human but it is too early to determine whether the skull is archeological.
Foy said the skull will be examined by a forensic anthropologist in Toronto.
The investigation is ongoing and involves the Crime Unit, members of the Moosonee OPP Detachment and the OPP Forensic Identification Unit. Officers will also be working with the Regional Supervising Coroner from Sudbury.
