PALMDALE, Calif. — Authorities today found more human remains near a Palmdale location where a human skull was found on Sunday.

The first discovery was made about 4:50 p.m. Sunday in the 6200 block of West Avenue N, said Deputy Irys Alvarez of the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau.

This morning, sheriff’s homicide detectives and coroner’s office investigators searched the area “and found more human remains,” Deputy Rich Peña said.

Annette Funicello, one of the best-known members of the original 1950s “Mickey Mouse Club” and a star of numerous 1960s “beach party” films, died Monday at a California hospital, the Walt Disney Co. said.

Funicello, who was 70, “died peacefully from complications due to multiple sclerosis, a disease she battled for more than 25 years,” the Disney statement said.
