Some duck hunters putting out decoys at Schicke Point Tuesday found something they were not expecting, a skull.

Calhoun County Sheriff B.B. Browning and his deputies along with some Matagorda County deputies went to the scene and were able to retrieve most of the skeleton, that was wearing a necklace.

The necklace, plus some teeth that are intact will help to identify the victim, according to the sheriff.

The bones were found out in a marsh area under some weeds, according to Browning.


“It may be a man that fell off a shrimp boat near Tres Palacios,” said the sheriff.

Browning said the bones are being sent to a doctor specializing in DNA to help determine the identity of the bones, which are believed to be those of a man.
