Police and prosecutors in the country are now probing the find after the unidentified resident spotted some 12 human skulls and a number of other human bo𒈔nes along a bank of the Sola river, .

The gruesome discovery was made near the southern Polish town of Oswiecim when water 💃levels of the river had runꦐ low, according to the report.

Police are probing if the rem📖ains are linked to the death camp, but a spokesperson for the Auschwitz Museum told ABC Friday that they were discovered outside of its perimeter.
