Decomposed dog, which police mistook for human remains, found in trash bag on train tracks in Kensington
A passerby found the remains on Monday afternoon, police said. Police initially thought it was a human body.

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office determined Monday evening that decomposed remains found in Kensington, which police initially mistook for a human body, belonged to a dog.
Police said they were investigating Monday after a passerby found a decomposed body in a trash bag on the train tracks near the 3200 block of Collins Street just after 4 p.m. Monday. Police pronounced the victim dead at the scene at 4:32 p.m. and said the victim’s race and sex had not yet been determined.
By 7:30 p.m. Monday, police said that the Medical Examiner’s office “determined the found remains were that of a dog.”
