Human bones washed up along the Brooklyn Bridge Park shoreline this week — marking at least the fifth time remains have been recovered from the waterfront in the last few months, officials said Friday.
All of the body parts — found just steps from the iconic Jane’s Carousel — are believed to have belonged to the same person, a rep for the city Medical Examiner’s Office told The Post.
In the most recent gruesome discovery, what’s believed to be a pelvic bone was spotted around 6:30 p.m. Thursday wedged between the rocks off the East River near Water and Dock Streets in DUMBO, cops and sources said.
A spokeswoman for the ME’s office confirmed Friday that the remains “are believed to come from the same person” as all of the skeletal parts found over the past four months.
“It is believed the remains are washing up there because of the tides,” the spokeswoman said.
“This person has not yet been identified,” she added, “but our team will use all the advanced forensic science tools at our disposal (dental analysis, taking DNA from bone) to make an identification.”
The first grisly find was made by a city Department of Parks & Recreation worker the morning of Aug. 19. The remains – including a skull – were covered in clothing, and a pair of boots was recovered nearby, cops and sources said.
Two days later, another bone – described as a leg or part of one — was discovered in the same area, authorities said.
More bone fragments were found along the shoreline several days later, on Aug. 31, cops said.
Additional remains were discovered on Sept. 27 in the same area, WPIX reported at the time.
Specialists from the ME’s Forensic Anthropology Unit told The Post in September that the remains appeared to belong to a man because of the shape and size of the bones — particularly pelvic bones, which are smaller in men than in women.
The experts found no indications of foul play.
The ME’s office is seeking leads from the public as they work to identify the person the remains belonged to.
