Skull boiling on stove, no charges filed

CHICAGO – Four human skulls were discovered in a man’s apartment, one boiling in a pot of water, but authorities said charges aren’t likely.

“It doesn’t seem to be anything nefarious at this time,” police Lt. Perry Nigro said. The 26-year-old owner of the skulls makes anatomical models for a living and appeared to be using them for medical purposes, Nigro said.

Police searched the apartment after someone who wanted to buy a mannequin in the home visited late Tuesday and saw the skulls on a porch and inside, with one boiling on the stove.</em>
