Human remains have been found in Simcoe, Norfolk County OPP say.

The remains were discovered around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, in a creek near the area of Queen and Windham streets.

They were found by officers searching for Robert Ranford, a 73-year-old Simcoe man recently reported missing.

A post-mortem examination was expected to take place Wednesday in an attempt to determine the cause of death. Police say they have not found any reason to believe the death is suspicious.

Further information, including the identity of the person whose remains were found, was not immediately available.
