Plumbing Worker Stumbles Upon Decomposed Skull in San Antonio

In a shocking incident last month, a plumbing company employee in San Antonio, Texas stumbled upon a human skull while cutting the grass. Walter Stephens, the employee, initially thought he had found a dried cantaloupe, but upon closer inspection, realized it was a decomposed skull.

Stephens immediately alerted his boss, Brad Harrell, the vice president of Harrell Commercial Plumbing. Harrell then contacted the police, who arrived at the scene and discovered additional small body parts and a detached mandible near a nearby creek.

The remains were later identified by the local coroner as belonging to 30-year-old Austin Thomas Wyrosdick. The police have described the incident as an "apparent sudden death," and the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office is still investigating the cause and manner of Wyrosdick's death.

Both Stephens and Harrell have their own theories about what may have happened, with Harrell suggesting the remains may have been moved to the location by either a person or an animal. The discovery was made near bowls used to feed stray dogs, adding to the mystery surrounding the case.

As the investigation continues, the tragic incident has left the plumbing company employees shaken, with Stephens expressing his sadness over the discovery, but also acknowledging that it was fortunate he found the remains.
