COPS are investigating after part of a human leg was found on a footpath used by schoolchildren.
The grisly discovery was made this morning by a dog walker just yards from New Waltham Academy in Lincolnshire.
Police say they believe the body part is a "lower limb" and are now probing the mystery.
It was found at around 6.45am on an old railway line with a cordon now in place on the footpath, Grimsby Live reports.
Officers are now urging members of the public to avoid the area as they carry out their investigation.
