Terrible title. Yahoo news has a better article.
A witness told KTVU the remains were found during construction and demolition at the site, a nearly 100-year-old graffiti-covered structure that was deemed not seismically safe.
Google Maps shows that most of the buildings in the complex are small, boxy things, looking like bare concrete block rectangles.
edit: This clearly wasn't prime San Fran real estate sitting empty, nor was it even a residence hall. | [

"\"I'll just go check out this old building before they padlock it for an eternity\"\nfamous last words",
">\n\nWhen a college can afford to leave a building like that unused for so many years, you know they are charging too much.",
">\n\nYou say \"afford\", but depending on the state of the building it may have cost more to tear down and rebuild. Looks like it actually was undergoing renovations, though.",
">\n\nYes, it does mean afford when a school could definitely pay to either keep it open and renovate or tear down and build new. Housing is in low supply in many parts of California. Leaving residential spaces vacant for years is kind of a shitty thing to do.",
">\n\nIt's considered a historic place, they can't tear it down, and if they do renovate it they have to preserve it's style, and getting the right permits and contractors can take literal years",
">\n\nI'd beat the issue is asbestos and lack of earthquake retro fitting.",
">\n\nBoth things that can be fixed, or the building can be tore down and built up. This school has money.",
">\n\nBut does the bureaucracy have motivation to do it?",
">\n\nI mean, considering the state of housing availability for their students, faculty and staff they should. This is literally what I have been calling out.",
">\n\nImagine being so isolated and unseen by the world that you can decompose all the way to bones before anyone finds you.",
">\n\nIt was a YouTuber that found the woman in Tampa. He does free yard work for lots in disrepair and films it for YouTube content.",
">\n\n\n\"Although the remains are skeletonized, it is not clear how many years they have been there,\" a University of California, Berkeley spokesperson said in a statement.\n\nI'd wager pretty long. I'd google it but then I'm on some list.",
">\n\nIt depends very much on the conditions where the body was found. Humidity, insect/rodent activity, and a number of other factors can greatly alter the time needed for remains to skeletonize. It can range from a number of months to a few years (more if anything was done to preserve the body like embalming).",
">\n\nWasn't that guy Brian laundry found as a skeleton? and the last reported sighting of him was 2 weeks or so before his body was found",
">\n\nHe also committed suicide in a Florida swamp. Hard to find a better spot for biomass to break down quick.",
">\n\nWhich promptly flooded (like within 24 hours) and stayed flooded for weeks. It was Brian soup there for a while, with plenty of creatures helping out.",
">\n\nDammit. “Brian soup” should not have been funny",
">\n\nIt was a mean shot, I admit. But he deserved it.",
">\n\nThe thing that really boggles my mind about this is the line: unused residence hall at University of California.\nCal Berkeley's student housing crisis is acute, so much so that they had to retroactively rescind acceptances of students last year. And you're telling me that there's a whole residence hall just sitting empty? WTF?",
">\n\nTerrible title. Yahoo news has a better article.\n\nA witness told KTVU the remains were found during construction and demolition at the site, a nearly 100-year-old graffiti-covered structure that was deemed not seismically safe.\n\nGoogle Maps shows that most of the buildings in the complex are small, boxy things, looking like bare concrete block rectangles.\nedit: This clearly wasn't prime San Fran real estate sitting empty, nor was it even a residence hall.",
">\n\nSo the person might have gone in there long ago....",
">\n\nMost likely scenario is just a homeless dude that was hanging out in there some time in the last 10-15 years",
">\n\nYou mean for* the past 10-15 years",
">\n\nWell he WAS hanging out there...then he died. So that poster did word it correctly.",
">\n\nhe used to hang out there, he still does, but he used to, too.",
">\n\nThanks Mitch",
">\n\nSooo... homeless dude who snuck in and died, or murder?",
">\n\nNeither.\nJust a dude ducking his student loans.",
">\n\nEven dead they still owe them",
">\n\nThink that’s bad? \nSkeleton dude technically owes dorm fees at Berkeley for the time he’s been there. \nThat, or he might technically have squatters rights.",

">\n\nWell that's using your head.",
">\n\nTechnically it was my fathers.",
">\n\nSorry, but am I to understand you've inserted your father's skull inside of that ball for bowling?",
">\n\nWho even remembers this movie? My god 😂",
">\n\nMy favorite thing about that movie is that it was the only movie that director ever made. He made tv commercials, eventually made Mystery Men, then went back to commercials",
">\n\nIt’s unfortunate that it hasn’t YET become a cult classic. \nI watched the movie for Kel Mitchell back when it came out.",
">\n\nit needs to become a cult classic already, I need an excuse to rewatch that movie",
">\n\nWhen my local train station was being renovated to extend the platforms for newer longer trains, they have to knock down a wall for construction. Behind that wall under a bunch of bushes they found skeletal remains. \nI use this train station every day Will that body was there for years.\nWhenever I see an abandoned building or gaps in spaces I always just wonder is there human remains there that nobody knows about. \nIt creeps me out",

">\n\nSkeletons in the closet is supposed to be a metaphor, guys!",
">\n\nJfc what's the west coast coming to? You know things are bad when even skeletons are squatting.",
">\n\nProbably from an old Grateful Dead concert.",
">\n\nOver/under on Berkeley sending a past due housing bill notice to the deceased’s family for housing back payments.",
">\n\nDid anyone check to see if it was suspended from a stand and held together with wires?",
">\n\nWait, so this is a dead body who lay there undetected for years, or a prank by med students?",
">\n\nIt’s not typical to refer to a skeleton as having been *skeletonized.”",

">\n\nMissing student, murdered and stuffed there a few months before? Back east.",
">\n\nThis is the one I was talking about but they found out who the guy was. It was in Oakland.",
">\n\nGood possibility it might have been a deaf student. The California School for the Deaf used to be located on that campus. Until the state came up with some bullshit in 1980 about earthquake safety and how those poor little deaf kids might get killed so they forced them to move across the Bay to Fremont. Then they turned around and gave the campus to Cal for student residences... (FWIW I am deaf myself and used to work for the state)",
">\n\nFremont isn't across the bay (it's on the East side, like Berkeley, but much further south), but you are correct that there was some FUCKERY afoot surrounding that campus. Absolute bullshit.",

">\n\nThey didn't have routine checks of the building all that time????????? Who knows what kinds of things went on there. SMH.",
">\n\nWell we know at least one guy got boned...",

">\n\nIt'd be weird if it was found in a well used residence",
">\n\nTBF, if it was propped up, sitting in a frat house common room, watching tv, no one would even think twice.",
">\n\nHow is there an unused residence hall??",
">\n\nCould be condemned building",
">\n\nMan, Biden really can't catch a break this week.",

">\n\nHe's a regular Van Wilder",
">\n\nIt would be good to know the condition of the skeleton and what items were around it. Gnaw marks? Clothing? Drug paraphernalia?",
">\n\nGiven the housing crisis pretty much all over California why does Berkely have an unused residential space? Surely they have the money to ensure all housing is available to students?",
">\n\nMy question as well.",
">\n\nUCPD is investigating? I guess we’ll never know what happened then. Fucking keystone cops.",

I'm afraid to tell you...it only smells good when initially applied.
It doesn't smell good when it reacts with the heat of your scalp and eventually spoils. Like I said, you don't realize it because your nose is directed away from your scalp, but ask a friend or family member to smell your hair after not washing for a few days. | [

Nope! Like I said. Only smells good straight out of the bottle. You're physically incapable of smelling your own scalp.
Everyone around you can smell it. Other hair oils like Argan, primrose, castor oil etc don't go rancid when exposed to heat like coconut oil does. | [

Quick question as i'm absolutely not in this topic but you said when the oil spoils it starts smelling like vomit. How is it smelling like vomit then the moment they put the oil in their hair? I mean yeah you said it spoils fast (for which i don't have proof nor motivation to look it up so i trust you on this one), but like 10 seconds fast? I can't imagine that tbh. Maybe your either very very sensitive to that smell or a smell that is in general known to be good just isn't for you? | [

I was curious about this too as I've never experienced anything but a lovely coconut smell from coconut oil, couldn't find a shred of evidence for heat spoiling but some people seem to think that they're having some kind of reaction to the oil that causes this smell. This person probably has one person who attends the gym regularly who is having this reaction to the oil and hasn't realised, some people really are just nose blind! | [

Like I said, you don't realize it because your nose is directed away from your scalp, but ask a friend or family member to smell your hair after not washing for a few days.",
">\n\nI'm afraid to tell you.... It smells really good and I've never ever smelt applied coconut anything and have smelled \" vomit \". \nEither your nose is fucked or you got shit taste",
">\n\nNope! Like I said. Only smells good straight out of the bottle. You're physically incapable of smelling your own scalp.\nEveryone around you can smell it. Other hair oils like Argan, primrose, castor oil etc don't go rancid when exposed to heat like coconut oil does.",
">\n\nthese ‘everyone around you’ people on reddit are so tired. I’m sorry if you only hang around meek lil dorks. If i smelled off in any capacity you better believe my loud and confident and loving homies/partner/family would immediately say ‘wtf is that smell?’",
">\n\nQuick question as i'm absolutely not in this topic but you said when the oil spoils it starts smelling like vomit. How is it smelling like vomit then the moment they put the oil in their hair? I mean yeah you said it spoils fast (for which i don't have proof nor motivation to look it up so i trust you on this one), but like 10 seconds fast? I can't imagine that tbh. Maybe your either very very sensitive to that smell or a smell that is in general known to be good just isn't for you?",
">\n\nI was curious about this too as I've never experienced anything but a lovely coconut smell from coconut oil, couldn't find a shred of evidence for heat spoiling but some people seem to think that they're having some kind of reaction to the oil that causes this smell. This person probably has one person who attends the gym regularly who is having this reaction to the oil and hasn't realised, some people really are just nose blind!",
">\n\nReacts to heat. Read above. Not bad straight out of bottle. \nAnd it's several gym goers I'm afraid.",
">\n\nHi I've searched for evidence of heat affecting coconut oil and found nothing, have you got non-anecdotal evidence? You can use it in cooking what's a hair dryer going to do to it?",
">\n\nMentions nothing about butyric acid being formed in the process",
">\n\nPlus that article seems to be a study on the practices of street vendors selling oils from recycled bottles I don't see how it in any way furthers your point",
">\n\nSomeone's defensive about the smelly hair..."
