PORT HURON, Mich. -- You can buy almost anything through eBay -- but a mummy?
Officials are trying to track down the origins of a mummified human skeleton that a Michigan woman tried to sell on the Internet auction site.
The St. Clair County medical examiner's office has confiscated the mummified remains from the home of Lynn Sterling.
Police said Sterling told them she got the remains from a friend who works in demolition and said he found them in a Detroit school he helped tear down nearly 30 years ago.
Police said Sterling likely won't face charges, though officials said the remains will be sent to an anthropologist for further examination.
The St. Clair County Medical Examiner described the remains as an intact skeleton with mummified tissue. He said age, sex and race could not yet be determined but said the remains appear to be those of a child.
