Lowcountry family finds skull while boating Associated Press MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. - A family out fishing has found a skull near the Wando Bridge, authorities say. The skull found Sunday afternoon is human and did not appear to have suffered any trauma, but officials don't know how long it had been there. Testing on the remains will take at least a week, Charleston County Deputy Coroner Dottie Lindsay said. The couple was boating with their two sons, ages 10 and 11, when the husband saw a dark object on the shore he first thought was an anchor, according to a police report. But when they got closer, the man realized it was a skull and used a life preserver to move it further up the bank so it wouldn't wash away with the rising tide, police said. http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/local/15329357.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Ell Only after the last tree has been cut down; Only after the last fish has been caught; Only after the last river has been poisoned; Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten. | |

The Charleston County Coroner's Office confirmed the skull was human, but did not know how long it had been there. Testing was expected to take at least a week, Deputy Coroner Dottie Lindsay said. An initial inspection did not reveal any obvious signs of trauma. A Mount Pleasant couple and their two sons, ages 10 and 11, were in their small boat when the husband spotted a black object on the shoreline around 2 p.m., according to a police report. At first he thought it was an anchor. After calling 911, the husband scooped up the skull with a life preserver and moved it farther up the bank so the rising tide would not carry it away, the report states. The family met Mount Pleasant police officers at Remley's Point boat landing and took them back to the spot.
