ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UPI) -- A St. Petersburg, Fla., research biologist said he discovered what appeared to be a lung floating in a canal behind his home.
The man said he phoned authorities and turned the object over to the St. Petersburg Police Department medical examiner, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
The medical examiner's office has yet to confirm whether the object was indeed a lung and, if so, whether it came from a human or an animal.
