Police in Pottstown, Pennsylvania were shocked when a letter carrier in town notified them about finding cremated human remains inside a package.

The package was found Tuesday wrapped haphazardly in a plastic bag without any mailing address or return address. After the police dog passed the package from any bomb scare, the officers opened it and found a box with a metal plate with the deceased person's name on it and the years "1957-2000."

AP quotes Pottstown police Capt. F. Richard Drumheller as saying, "In my 19 years of police work, never has something like this occurred." The police has not yet revealed the person's name until his relatives are found.
