Decomposing head and body found near train tracks in Rosenberg

ROSENBERG, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities are investigating after a head and body were found Wednesday afternoon in Rosenberg.

Officials say railroad workers called Rosenberg Police just before 1 p.m. after they found a human head behind the 1500 block of Avenue G, not far from the tracks.

Detectives at the scene later confirmed the head was a decomposing human skull.

Officers then searched the area and discovered a body nearby. They determined that the person had been dead for a while based on the condition of the remains.

The body was taken to the medical examiner's office in Galveston.

Investigators say they have no leads at this time, but they also have no indication foul play was involved.
