BLOOMFIELD, Conn. -- Police called off the search for pieces of a corpse originally believed to be stolen from a Bloomfield mausoleum on Thursday.

The corpse of a woman who died in the 1930s was believed to be missing after an overnight burglary.

Police said that someone did force their way into the mausoleum overnight, but that nothing appeared to have been taken.

Bloomfield police said that investigators didn't move the casket after arriving at the scene, but followed protocol and waited for a forensics team.

The casket was located a few feet outside the mausoleum, police said. It had been broken open, with no remains inside, they said.

To prevent the destruction of evidence, police said, on-scene personnel performed a cursory check of the scene and requested the state Major Crime Squad conduct a forensic examination of the scene.

Meanwhile, they said, Bloomfield detectives pursued available leads.

The Major Crime Squad conducted a thorough examination of the scene, ultimately working its way into the mausoleum, police said. Once inside, they said, the skeletal remains began to be located within the debris strewn about the structure.

The remains that were recovered will be sent to the state anthropologist to confirm that officials can account for all skeletal parts, police said.

It’s believed that when the thief broke open the vault and pulled the casket off the support slab, said police, the casket bottom gave way due to decay and all the contents were strewn about the mausoleum floor.

In an effort to search for any valuables that would be on the floor, police said, the thief likely moved the casket out of the mausoleum, resulting in the casket being found empty on the exterior of the structure
