The century-old school is being converted into apartments. At the time of the skull’s discovery, the owner of the construction company told local media that it appeared quite old, and was missing its bottom half.

Constable Ken Macdonald said Friday investigators did confirm the skull was not being used for educational purposes at the school.
“Lab specimens, instructional skulls, if you will, are clearly indicated. They quickly ruled that out,” said Macdonald.
“Our main mission is to get the info out and hopefully it will assist another agency to identify a DNA profile they’re looking for.”
