PASADENA (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say an investigation was underway Sunday after police officers came upon a human skull and other bones in Pasadena.
Pasadena police Lt. Clawson says police responding to a “trespassing” call made the discovery about 12:50 p.m. Saturday.
According to Clawson, the artifacts were found at a makeshift altar in a detached garage in the 800 block of N. Oakland Avenue.
Other items, including burned artifacts and animal bones, were also recovered.
The altar was adorned with incense and candles, Pasadena police said in a department statement. Authorities say they’ve since collected the items.
No one arrested and it’s not clear whether a crime was committed.
The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office along with Pasadena police are investigating.
The statement said, “This incident is being investigated as suspicious circumstances and is on-going.”
No further information was immediately available

Satanic maybe?
Santería.
Watch out for Chango.
Just some friends from south of the border celebrating diversity with a death cult.
Pasadena->JPL->NASA->muslim outreach...
Agreed! After all, “Diversity is our STRENGTH!”
Santa Muerte altar. A perversion of Catholicism where death is worshipped. Popular with Mexican immigrants.
It sounds like colleges are going to have to add another holiday to their school calendars and the USAF academy is going to have to build another chapel. Satanism and human sacrifice (consenting adults only of course) deserve equal treatment, right?
Aren’t there elements of Catholicism in voodoo as well?
Santeria, perhaps?
Animal bones are bad enough but a human skull is much worse.
That’s just scary.
