Overview
- Two people walking near International Drive and Continental Gateway discovered suspected human remains on Saturday night, August 8, and deputies responded at about 9:30 p.m.
- The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the remains are skeletal but has not released an identity or a cause of death.
- Investigators have provided few public details so far as they process the scene and pursue forensic identification through medical, dental, or DNA means.
- Officials have said there is no evidence connecting the discovery to Walt Disney World and no information at this time that it poses a broader threat to tourists or resort guests.
- The find drew attention because International Drive sits inside Orlando’s large tourism corridor, and authorities urge anyone who encounters possible remains to avoid touching them and to call law enforcement so investigators can preserve evidence.
