About 145 coffins believed to be part of a mid-20th century cemetery for the indigent were found buried under a Tampa, Florida, high school, officials say
The Hillsborough County school district said Wednesday that geophysical technicians found"clear evidence" of burials at the Clarence Leon King High School campus. School officials believe the caskets are part of Ridgewood Cemetery, a historic paupers' burial ground from the early 1940s that was owned by the city, according to the Florida Genealogical Society. King High School opened in 1960, according to the school's website.
The area has been fenced off since last month and will remain like that for the time being. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner and the state's archeologists are expected to review the district's findings in the next 30 days. The agencies will decide whether they will take possession of the land or turn it back to the school district, officials said.It's not the first time that a forgotten burial site is discovered in the city.
