Two bags of human remains found on a Seattle beach Friday were reportedly discovered by a group of teens as they filmed a TikTok video.
One suspicious bag was found on the West Seattle shoreline of Elliot Bay, across from Pike’s Place Market, and a second bag was seen floating in the water nearby, police said in a statement.
While police have not said who made the grisly discovery, a TikTok video posted Saturday by a group of teens appears to show them stumbling across a black suitcase dumped on the rocks of the waterfront.
“Something traumatic happened that changed my life,” TikTok user @ughhenry wrote in the video caption.
“We found this black suitcase,” a video caption reads. “We were joking that maybe the suitcase would have money…[But] the smell was overwhelming.”
A girl is seen using a stick to look inside the luggage after a friend behind the camera yells, “Open it! It stinks, yo!”
The teens are heard laughing, but the video states that the smell made them a “little scared” and “nervous.” In the next shot, a caption says they called police as a girl is seen talking on her phone.
The teens only learned later that the suitcase held a dead body, according to the video.
