Construction workers at a Long Island apartment complex dug up a bone-chilling discovery: human skeletal remains.

The grim find Monday in Woodbury’s Eagle Rock Apartments is under investigation by Nassau County police, cops said.

The complex’s management told News 12 that the remains were “clearly over 100 years old,” but a representative contacted by The Post would not confirm that earlier statement.
