WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A human head was discovered off Jupiter Island by two teenagers who were fishing, authorities said.

Michael Puscani and Rocke Greco, both 17, spotted the head about 4 p.m. Wednesday.

"We didn't know if it was real or not, so we came around again and we were like, 'That's a human head,'" Puscani said. "I was just in shock, and it's a story that's kind of hard for people to believe."

The teens radioed to the Coast Guard and authorities came and picked up the head, said Palm Beach County spokesman Paul Miller.

It was so deteriorated that authorities were not able to determine its sex or race, only that it belonged to an adult, Miller said.

It is being treated as a homicide investigation.

>You comments are so totally irreverent; is no one concerned that a person is like - dead?

Holier-than-thou,
self-righteous indignation
is more a 'Rat thing.

This guy feels your pain.
Most of the rest of us don't
really need nannies.

The guy in that picture does not feel my pain! Trust me.

People die.

Hopefully they will find the killer.

"Dark humor often helps us deal with tragedy". A quote from my Cop buddy.

While we aren't the military or police, some of us still take a walk on the Dark side of humor now and again.

Don't hate us.....(or nanny us) ;^)

Wow, I didn't know Paris Hilton was in a Ghost Hunters episode?

Did she find a poltergeist?

We were coming in from fishing, we were about 40 miles off Freeport Tx and we saw 4 heads floating in the water. Fortunately they were attached to 4 live bodies and we were able to rescue them. Their boat had sunk and they were treading water as the sun went down. That was a close call for those boys, they were lucky we came along.

Vanessa Kensington: No.

Austin Powers: That's not the way to get ahead in life.

Vanessa Kensington: No.

Austin Powers: It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.

Vanessa Kensington: Hmm.

Austin Powers: He'll never be the head of a major corporation.

Vanessa Kensington: Okay, that'll do.

Austin Powers: Okay.

This story reminds me of "Eight heads in a duffel bag" movie. The part where the guy is in the back seat making all the "head" comments. LOL

From Number Nine, Penwiper Mews,
There is really abominable news.
They've discovered a head
In the box for the bread,
But nobody seems to know whose.
