Update for 11 a.m., March 8
Seattle Police crime scene investigators are working a potential crime scene roughly 50 yards down a footpath on the east side of Myers Way S. near the borders between West Seattle, North Highline and Burien.

SPD said a man was walking along the path Thursday night, March 7, when he discovered the bones and called 911.

Investigators secured the area on Thursday night and, as of Friday morning, are trying to determine if the bones are of human or animal origin, and whether the death was natural or a potential homicide.

Traffic is free-flowing along Myers Way.
