COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police in central Ohio say homicide
detectives were sent to a Columbus rooming house after a badly
decomposed human body part was found at the property west of downtown.
A
Columbus police spokeswoman says the owner and a maintenance person
were at the house for a routine check late Thursday morning when they
smelled something odd and noticed the body part. They called police.
The
police spokeswoman wouldn’t say what body part it was or where it was
found, only that it was human. She also had no immediate details on
whether anything else suspicious was found.
She says one person at the three-bedroom property was taken in for questioning.
Investigators remained at the scene later Thursday.
