Miami-Dade police investigating decapitated human head that washed ashore on popular South Florida beach

A human head washed ashore at a popular South Florida beach on Nov. 12, authorities say.

Miami-Dade police are investigating the incident after a beach worker in Key Biscayne, Florida discovered the decapitated head early Tuesday morning behind the Key Colony II Ocean Sound condos, according to multiple reports.

The police have not been able to identify the specifics regarding the head and are unaware of the age or sex, CBS Miami reported.

The cause of the decapitation is still under investigation, Miami-Dade Police Detective Andre Martin told NBC News.

"We have not been able to determine exactly how the head became separated from the body, but there are a couple working theories," Martin told NBC.

Miami-Dade and local authorities are awaiting further information about the deceased's identity. Martin did, however, tell People Magazine that he suspects the remains were of an adult male but are awaiting confirmation.

"At this point we're not discounting any possibility," Martin said. "This could be an accident or missing person, it's too early to tell the circumstances."

The medical examiner and homicide officials are working together to identify the deceased.

The incident is currently not being called a homicide.

The Philippines said on Wednesday it would not stand in the way if former President Rodrigo Duterte wants to surrender to the International Criminal Court, and would be obliged to comply with any international arrest warrant over his "war on drugs". During a congressional hearing on Wednesday into the bloody crackdown on narcotics that killed thousands of Filipinos, the mercurial Duterte said he was not scared of the ICC and told it to "hurry up" on its investigation into possible crimes against humanity. The office of the current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr issued a statement hours later indicating it would be willing to consider handing Duterte over if an Interpol request was made.

These police officers knew something was wrong before the 911 call came through. Officers from the London Ohio Police Division spotted a child walking alone. As they turned around to follow him, an emergency call came over the radio saying a 5-year-old boy with autism had gone missing. He was floating on his back in creek waters that were 3-feet deep when the officers found him. According to authorities, the boy was taken to a hospital for observation and released.
