A shopper, who turned out to be an anthropologist, was strolling down the Halloween aisle of a North Fort Myers thrift store when the shocking discovery was made, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
The shopper recognized the skull to be human and alerted law enforcement.

Deputies arrived at the store and recovered the skull that they too believed to be that of a human.
According to the store owner, the skull was found in a storage unit that was bought some years ago.
The case is not believed to be suspicious.

It used to be common that medical students had to purchase a set of bones along with their textbooks. My dad still owns a skull and a humerus in a cookie tin in the basement.

The thrift store owner purchased a storage unit and found the skull in there and yet none of it is considered suspicious?
TIL I can keep my skulls in a storage unit and no one will look into it.
