A mysterious headless corpse was found rotting in a wooded strip flanked by two fast-food joints in Tennessee — and cops have no idea how long it had been there, according to reports.
Authorities responded to the grim scene after a women stumbled upon a cluster of heavily decomposed bones in the woods behind a McDonald’s and Waffle House in Nashville Friday morning, WSMV reported.
A severely crumbling skull was then found roughly 100 feet from the gruesome decapitated remains, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
“It is unclear at this point who this person is, how this person got there,” a police spokesperson said, adding that the gender and age of the unidentified skeletal corpse is still unknown.
“Given the heat and the woods and the nature of how this person was found it’s extremely difficult for officers to see and four our CSI team to photograph and capture.”
Officials have yet to confirm if the severed head belongs to the putrefying bones, the outlet reported.
The horrific discovery left workers at the quick-service eateries in shock.
“It’s pretty gory, that’s crazy,” worker Tom Keesee told the outlet.

I’m here for the comments.
Check the hash browns.
My money is that is a drug war retaliation, illegals from the cartels are known to cut off heads.
At least they're making headway.
Have they tracked the whereabouts of Randy Travis?
I heard he was ‘diggin’ up bones’....
I think I found the place. There’s a motel right there too.
I’m guessing the woman who found the body stayed at the motel and was walking to either the McDonald’s or the Waffle House.
Gay guys hooking up might be out there. Actually, a homeless person could have just died out there, and animals dragged the head a ways away. I mean, if you’re going to go to all that trouble to cut off a head, why leave it in the general vicinity?
They found the headless horseman or is it all The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?
The beheading bears the trademark of the Sword of Islam.
I syrup the detectives solve the crime.
Cartels are now operating inside the USA, not just in Mexico?
I keep seeing street signs that say “Stop A Head” so I stop, look, but never see any heads.
Yes, cartels and their extensions are operating all over the world. MS-13 is a good example, like the most perfect “Maryland Man” who had tattoos with “MS-13 on his knuckles caught smuggling humans. These animals are a curse on the whole planet.
Damn! You beat me to it!
Well, the head could have been dragged 100 ft away from the decomposing body by coyotes or other animals.
My guess is as good as anyone’s at this point, but could have been a homeless person who died there from exposure or drug overdose.
“ Authorities responded to the grim scene after a women…”
What’s “a women?”
Is this some variant or they/them pronouns?
The sooner the butter.
