Mystery Casket Found on Maryland Roadside

An abandoned casket was discovered on Thursday morning on the side of the road in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Resident James Robinson, on his way to work, stumbled upon the unusual sight. "It was pretty wild, pretty wild to see it in the morning," Robinson said. The incident quickly drew attention, with County Councilman Calvin Hawkins noting, "Kids are going to come by for school and you can't leave that casket out here." The Prince George's County Department of Public Works and Transportation responded swiftly, removing the casket. The casket will not be reused and its parts will be recycled. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting unusual occurrences and the efficient response of local authorities.
