Monday, May 23, 2005
FREEPORT (AP) - The Coast Guard says some bones and scuba gear have been found on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
Authorities are trying to determine if they are human bones.
The remains were discovered yesterday on a rig about 68 miles off Freeport.
The Coast Guard says divers were checking out a rig that needed maintenance when they came upon the badly decomposed remains next to some scuba gear.
Investigators are also trying to determine how the bones and gear ended up on the rig.
