It was neither zombies, vampires nor a crazy cult performing a ritual. It wasn’t even an opportunistic landlord who tried to raise the rent on the post-mortem tenant. It simply was an unreliable salvage worker for whom 100 bucks wasn’t enough to dispose of an old casket in a respectful way.

The New York Times published an article today solving the mystery of the old casket found on Bushwick’s Pilling St, near Evergreen Cemetery, earlier this month. NYPD’s 83rd Precinct tweeted the picture of the casket and concluded that it was “not cool.”

The casket was covered in dirt and filled with trash and with what was later confirmed to be human skeletal remains. However, Evergreen Cemetery declined that the casket came from their graves.
