US EditionTourists at Beach House Find Human Remains Dating Back 200 Years
- On May 23, 2025, visitors exploring a beachfront area in Jeremy Cay on Edisto Island, South Carolina, unexpectedly came across human skeletal remains estimated to be around 200 years old, which included a skull.
- The remains were first mistaken for fossils but identified as human, prompting a police report and investigation linked to the historically significant Edingsville Beach settlement.
- Edingsville Beach was a 19th-century summer retreat for wealthy Charleston families, featuring about 60 homes, churches, and service buildings, but it was abandoned due to erosion, war, and hurricanes by the late 1800s.
- Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey stated that the discovered remains, which included a skull and scattered bones, may originate from a long-overlooked burial site dating back to the period of the American Revolution or the Civil War.
- Officials transferred the remains to a specialized facility in South Carolina for expert examination to establish their origin and estimated age, while the inquiry into their background and identity continues.
