A human head found on the ice of a Long Island skating pond belonged to a man who had been shot, Suffolk County police said yesterday.
The head was spotted protruding through the ice by two skaters on the shoreline of a pond in Moriches on Saturday. It was taken by police to the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office for inspection.
Police Officer Bob McLaren said neither the race nor the identity of the man have been determined, and that police have not yet found the rest of the body.
McLaren said medical examiners determined that the head had a gunshot wound.
