Construction workers uncover chilling remains at flagship public university, halting project

Construction workers at the University of Oklahoma came across century-old human remains while on the job. The grim and startling discovery brought the project to a halt.

The University of Oklahoma announced the discovery in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

In the release, issued Feb. 20, the school said the remains were found at the construction site for OU’s future Life Sciences Laboratories Building.

Pictures obtained by Fox News Digital show that the construction site was emptied out in the wake of the discovery.

OU said that work “stopped immediately” at the site once the remains were found.

“The university notified law enforcement and the State Medical Examiner’s Office,” the statement read.

“All required procedures and state burial protection laws are being followed.”

“The university is committed to ensuring the remains are handled with care, dignity and respect,” the release added.

Though research is still ongoing, the university said that no foul play is suspected.
