NYPD: Duffel Bag Containing Human Remains Found in Queens

A black duffel bag containing unidentified human remains was found in Queens.

Police say the bag was discovered at about noon Monday near the shoreline on Gipson Street in Far Rockaway.

Two residents were walking along Motts Basin when they noticed the bag with a human leg sticking out of it, police said. 

It's not clear how long the bag had been there, but police believe it was brought there from another location. Investigators will look to see if homeowners in the area have security cameras that may have significant footage, police said. 

The city's Medical Examiner is to determine the cause of death.
