Miami-Dade Police are investigating after a human head washed ashore Tuesday morning on Key Biscayne.

Officials said the head was found by someone raking the beach, WTVJ reported. That person called authorities.

A section of the beach was closed off while investigators where are the scene.

The medical examiner will make an attempt to identify the remains.

A police spokesperson told the Miami Herald it was too early to know if the head is part of any recent cases, including a teen who disappeared while swimming off Miami Beach on Monday.

Area residents were disturbed.

“Everybody is extremely surprised, it’s highly unusual to find a body part on the beach,” Ivo Kusijamovic told WPLG.

No other information was available.
