A skull that was found in Oak Lake Park over the weekend was determined to be that of a human, authorities said Monday. And its discovery has prompted a probe into whose remains ended up in the water near North 56th Avenue and Douglas Street.
The skull was discovered by Nicholas Vargas and Matthew Fischer, both 15, around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.
They wanted to go swimming in the lake and tried to pull a shopping cart out of the water, Vargas said.
"I just found a vase [inside the cart] and I just dumped it out and I found the skull," he said.
Judging from the small size of the skull, Vargas thinks it was a child, he said.
"Somebody who doesn't care about kids just killed him and threw them in the lake," he said. "It's messed up how they can do that to a young kid."

We shouldn't presume that this is a child's skull until the authorities say so. I've seen speculation of this nature before that turned out not to be true from people who have found remains.
