Boaters Find Jawbone Under Ravenel Bridge

Two boaters on the Cooper River discovered what appeared to be human remains over the weekend, according to a Mount Pleasant police report.

The men told police they were on the Cooper River searching for bottles on Saturday when they discovered what appeared to be a human jawbone near Drum Island, according to the report.

The responding officer confirmed that the remains did look a human jawbone, but the skeletal remains needed further testing. Police collected the evidence and turned it over the Charleston County Coroner for testing.

Drum Island is uninhabited, but it is a dumping ground for sand that's dredged from Charleston Harbor.
