A homeowner
dialed emergency services after discovering the items in a
recycling bin about 4 p.m. PDT (2300 GMT)Saturday afternoon,
said Patrick Michaud, a spokesman for the Seattle Police
Department.
Homicide detectives and the King County Medical Examiner's
Office confirmed the remains were human, Michaud said.
The remains were likely placed in the recycling bin between
Friday and Saturday night, he said.
One of the body parts found was a foot, the Seattle Times
reported, citing Sgt. Mike Renner of the Seattle Police
Department. Renner told the paper the body parts were "fresh."
It was unclear where the remains came from.
The parts were sent to the medical examiner's office and will be
searched for evidence on Monday, a spokesman with office said.
