BOSTON — Authorities have announced an update on a startling discovery made by workers in Boston’s Seaport last week.

Massachusetts State Police couldn’t immediately say whether the skull was human or not.
In an update on Monday, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that the skull is fake and not human, a spokesperson for the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office told Boston 25 News.
