A mummified body was found inside the wall of the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland on Wednesday by construction crews who are working to revitalize the facility.
The mysterious discovery of a mummified body in the walls of a historic convention center in Oakland, California, has prompted an urgent search for answers, as authorities seek to untangle the person’s identity and how they came to be entombed within the building’s walls.
Construction workers discovered the body on Wednesday afternoon during renovations of the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, a more-than-century old building near the city’s downtown.
Little is known about the person, who authorities said appears to be a man, or how he was preserved within the wall of the convention center, which has long been vacant.
