The identity of a skeleton found Sunday by two people out gathering firewood 
remained unknown this morning according to Clay County Coroner Claxton Denney. 
The body was found in the Bull Gap area of Clay County about four miles east of

suspect foul play. 
The skeleton had some items of men's clothing were taken to the state crime lab 
in Birmingham where investigators will seek to determine the identity and cause 
of death, the coroner said. 
The skeleton was found when a mother and child were gathering firewood between 1 
and 2 pm Sunday Denney said. The mother looked around to see her child playing 
with a skull, he said. The pair reported the skull to Sylacauga police and
