GLEN GARDNER, N.J. - Discovery of a bag full of rotting animal parts hidden in the ceiling above the school lunchroom forced the closing of Voorhees High School on Monday.

Officials said the school would remain closed Tuesday to allow workers to sanitize the area and health inspectors to clear the cafeteria to serve food.

"An unusual odor led to the discovery of decomposing animal parts that had been surreptitiously placed in the drop ceiling," Lebanon Township police Patrolman Larry Campbell said.

The bag was found about 7:30 a.m. Monday; students were dismissed at 11:55.

Police believe the bag was hidden over the weekend, Campbell said. He would not say what kind of animal the parts were from or how much was hidden.

The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office is investigating.

Might have a little sociopath on their hands...

wow that must of sucked

Phew. I imagine the stink was fairly bad. I wonder who pulled the stunt?

Voorhees HS?

Well, that's what happens when you name a high school after one of the most notorious movie mass murderers.

What a memory! I was thinking "Jason", too.....lol

If it was a student, they should have used fish and left it over the weekend.

Funny you would say that. Once I was working on a house and the owner was a pain in the a$$. I had breakfast one morning of a can of kippersnacks in the peel open tin. I couldn't eat all the salty cod so I put the can on top of the closet and forgot about it. It started stinking real bad and they had an exterminator crawl under the house looking for something dead. I never heard from them again, I guess they liked my work.

Now we know where school lunch comes from.

Maybe the prankster thought that if they put a bag full of parts up in the ceiling and when the smell started... that someone would think that it was a dead human corpse and a 'big' media story would evolve. Speaking of the smell though, it had to be horrible. I know how bad it is to have just a squirrel or something die in the attic.

Lol thats funny and very gross

So was I.

Let's hope it was parts from a butcher not some animal that was butchered by a kid.

Damn, these kids are getting too smart! I never would have thought of that to get out of school.....

We had the old fish in the ventilation thing at our school.

I wonder what kind of animal the parts were from?

hehe ya really! good point..my spouse is crazy over the old jason freddy and michael horror movies. our daughter was even born on same day as jason vs freddy hits theatres, so ya he would had thought the school name was cute but would had passed on the discomposed animals.heheh

why couldnt that happen at my school... i dont mind missing school lol

Glad to see so many minds thinking alike.

Who says it was a prank? MAybe someone really put that in their food there!!! I would never eat at school again!!!
