A dog carrying a human head along a California sidewalk led to the discovery of a decomposed body on Thursday, NBC 15 reported.

A decomposing body was found in a shed in Downtown Fresno after a dog was seen dropping a human head on a sidewalk, according to NBC 15. The Fresno Police Department responded to the scene at the area following reports from a witness who noticed the dog with the skull.
