Law enforcement personnel are scratching for clues in a recent discovery near the ninth hole at Oriole Executive Golf Course in South Florida — a human skull.

Margate police say divers on Monday were performing regular maintenance on an irrigation line at the course. They uncovered a clay pot in a canal, in about a 10 feet of water, and inside was the skull, The Associated Press reported.

The skull has been sent to the Broward County medical examiner, AP said. Police don’t have any idea how the skull wound up in the canal and are pursuing it as a homicide.
