CLEVELAND — *EDITOR'S NOTE: The above video is from a previous story about the new headquarters.
Work at the construction site of the new Sherwin-Williams headquarters in Downtown Cleveland was briefly halted Tuesday after crews found skeletal remains at the location.
Sherwin-Williams says Independence Excavating was performing its duties in the backfill area along West 6th Street when its employees discovered the bones around 8:30 a.m. Activity was immediately stopped and Cleveland police were called to the scene.
The bones were immediately taken to the local coroner's office. However, staff members later discovered they were pig bones.
It is not known how the skeleton may have gotten there or how long it had been in the ground, but officials from Sherwin-Williams have not given any indication it will affect construction going forward. Cleveland police have not given any further comment.
