SOUTH BOSTON—A shocking discovery at the Black Falcon Terminal sent local authorities into a frenzy last week after a skull was reportedly unearthed encased in concrete. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office quickly sprang into action, calling in forensic anthropologists to assess whether the find was indeed human remains.

The anticipation surrounding the potential identity of the skull heightened the drama, with investigators initially holding their breath for a definitive answer. However, in a twist worthy of a crime thriller, the DA's office announced Tuesday that the alleged human skull was, in fact, a fake. What initially sparked fear and intrigue has now turned into a bizarre tale of deception.
