A driver alerted
authorities after spotting the casket on Saturday on the side of
a road in the city of Friendship, about 80 miles north of
Madison, the Adams County Sheriff's Office said.
On Wednesday, an unidentified man came forward to claim the
casket, telling authorities that it fell out of a boat he was
pulling with his truck, according to a sheriff's office Facebook
post.
"There was no sign that it was ever used for a burial," Adams
County Deputy Joe LeBreck said. "We had no concerns that we had
a grave robbery or a zombie apocalypse here."
