Calgary police say remains found earlier this week in the city’s southwest are human, but they are still trying to determine how the person died.
Officers were called to a forested area along Spruce Drive SW north of Shagganappi Point Golf Couse around 3:15 p.m. Thursday after getting reports someone found a body.
Investigators searched a pathway in the area and a number of items were recovered.
In an update Friday, police say the medical examiner has confirmed the body belongs a man older than 25 and that it had been there for some time.
“The identity, manner and cause of death remain under investigation,” reads a release from Calgary police.
An anthropological exam is scheduled for next week and police will be conducting more searches of the area.
