Bones and a skull that may be human remains were found by teenagers playing in a Queens park late Tuesday afternoon, the police said.

Four skateboarders discovered the remains inside a suitcase near Forest Parkway and Park Lane South in Richmond Hill, investigators said. The site is in the west end of Forest Park near Cypress Hills Cemetery.

The youths called 911 to report their find. The police said they retrieved the remains and turned them over to the city’s medical examiner’s office to determine if they are human.
