In England, experts found 700-year-old skeleton couple found buried together holding hands in long-lost chapel in the countryside of Leicestershire in Hallaton, England.

Further that, archaeologists wondering about the cause of death of those bones, it is alleged that they are “Criminals, Foreigners, or Sick.”

Vicky Score, project manager of ULAS had a statement regarding to the 14^th-century skeletons buried in Chapel of St. Morell, she said “The main question we find ourselves asking is why were they buried up there?
