A shocking discovery was made on a beach in Key Biscayne, Florida, when a beach worker stumbled upon a severed human head early Tuesday morning. The Miami-Dade Police Department was notified of the gruesome find around 8:40 a.m. following multiple reports. The identity of the deceased, including their gender, is yet to be determined as police work closely with the Medical Examiner’s Office to gather more information.
The severed head was promptly covered with a blue tarp to keep it out of sight from beachgoers while police carried out their investigation. A spokesperson from the Miami-Dade police department stated that it is too early to connect this incident with any recent cases in the area, including the recent disappearance of a teenager off the coast of Miami Beach.
The unsettling discovery has left the residents of the barrier island community deeply disturbed. Bahman Amini, a long-time resident who has lived in a nearby condominium for 40 years, expressed his fear to local news, stating that despite witnessing various incidents over the years, nothing compared to the horror of this discovery. He shared his apprehension about returning to the beach he loves.
The news also left Miami resident Marcelo Borrelli in disbelief. He told local news that while it’s not uncommon to hear about drugs washing ashore, finding a human head is beyond comprehension. The incident has not only shaken local residents but also tourists visiting the popular Sunshine State.
Denver tourist Alex Portuondo, who used to live in South Florida, expressed his shock to local news. He admitted his curiosity about the origin of the head and whether any other body parts had been discovered. He also expressed concern about whether the incident occurred on the island or if the head had washed ashore from elsewhere.
As the investigation continues, the community and visitors alike are left with a sense of unease and a multitude of unanswered questions. The tranquility of the beach has been disrupted, replaced with a chilling reminder of the gruesome discovery.
