Police rule out foul play after bone discovery near Taylor Swift's mansion (Credit: Getty Images) Authorities in Westerly, Rhode Island, are investigating a chilling find made just steps from global pop icon Taylor Swift's famed 'Holiday House' mansion. Earlier this week, what appears to be a human leg bone was discovered along a secluded beach path on Everett Avenue — a quiet, affluent enclave that rarely sees police activity of this nature. Unsettling discovery made just yards from pop star's sprawling estate According to Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella, officers were dispatched to the scene on Wednesday morning after a call from a local resident alerted authorities to the disturbing find. 'At this time, there is no indication of foul play,' Gingerella told reporters, but confirmed the item discovered is being treated with due caution and has been sent to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for further analysis and identification. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Lost Their Money - Learn From Their Lesson Expertinspector Click Here Undo 'Holiday House' once again makes headlines for all the wrong reasons The location of the discovery — reportedly just a few hundred yards from Swift's 11,000-square-foot mansion — has fueled intense speculation. The coastal estate, immortalized in her song The Last Great American Dynasty, has been the subject of pop culture lore ever since Swift purchased it for $17.75 million in 2013. Known for hosting extravagant Fourth of July parties attended by the likes of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, the property has now become the backdrop of an unsettling real-world mystery. Sources confirm that Swift, who is reportedly in the middle of a $1.7 million renovation of the property, including upgrades to the kitchen, bathrooms, and a new bedroom suite, was not in Rhode Island at the time of the bone's discovery. Police urge calm but locals remain on edge While police insist that no criminal activity is suspected at this stage, the presence of what could be human remains has left residents feeling uneasy. "It's the kind of thing you don't expect here," one longtime Watch Hill resident told a local outlet on condition of anonymity. 'It's just bizarre.' The Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office is expected to release a preliminary report in the coming days. Until then, the community — and the media — are left waiting for answers.

Human Remains Found Near Taylor Swift's Rhode Island Home: Police
A grim scene unfolded not far from Taylor Swift's Holiday House on the morning of May 14. Westerly, R.I. police confirm to PEOPLE that what appeared to be human remains were found in the Watch Hill area, the affluent enclave where the singer's seaside mansion is located. Officers that arrived to the scene on Everett Avenue around 9:30 a.m. uncovered "what appeared to be a human leg bone," according to a statement shared with PEOPLE. The remains were transported to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for analysis. "Investigators are awaiting official confirmation of the identity of the remains," the statement continues. No foul play is suspected at this time. A resident who spoke to the local news outlet NBC10 WJAR, Taylor Day, said she saw "three police cars, one undercover . . . and there was a medical examiner pulling in behind me." She added, 'It kind of alarmed me, and it was just something very out of the ordinary for Westerly." Day called out the proximity to Swift's landmark home and the area's most famous historic hotel. 'It was probably a couple football fields away from Taylor Swift's house and the Ocean House,' she shared. 'I would never expect anything like that—especially not in Watch Hill.' Swift purchased her home for a reported $17.75 million in 2013, according to the New York Times, and has famously hosted Fourth of July parties there, attended by a bevy of celebrity friends, including Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, the Haim sisters, and Selena Gomez. The affluent beach town is otherwise known for its Victorian-style homes and what the Times once dubbed a "strong sense of privacy." High-profile visitors from Clark Gable and Henry Ford to Conan O'Brien and Hugh Jackman have spent time in the village. High Watch, as Swift's 1920s property was previously known, overlooks East Beach and the Atlantic Ocean and was notably once owned by Standard Oil heiress Rebekah West Harkness, the subject of Swift's song "The Last Great American Dynasty."

Human remains found near Taylor Swift's Rhode Island home
Taylor Swift's Rhode Island holiday home is at the centre of a disturbing local news story. Police in Westerly, Rhode Island - in the northeastern US - responded to a call about possible human remains found there on Wednesday, local news outlet WJAR reported. On arriving at the scene in the neighbourhood of Watch Hill, officials discovered what appeared to be a human leg bone. The location of the gruesome find is reportedly about 300 metres from Swift's house. The remains were taken to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for analysis. Although police don't suspect foul play at this time, theories are rife that there may be a killer on the loose. An investigation is currently underway by the Westerly Police Department Detective Division and officials are continuing work to confirm the identity of the remains. Swift bought her Rhode Island residence for $17 million (£12.8 million) in 2013. The home has become synonymous with her famous 4th of July parties. The Grammy winner also referenced the house in the song The Last Great American Dynasty off her 2020 album Folklore. According to a building permit and zoning certificate obtained by Us magazine in January, the Rhode Island home is set to undergo a $1.7 million (£1.3 million) expansion, during which Swift plans to add a new bedroom to the home and remodel the kitchen.
