Police believe there was no foul play involved with human remains found in Mount Forest.

The remains were transported to the Centre of Forensic Science for the Coroners Investigation.

Preliminary examination determined no signs of foul play.

On July 17 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police located human remains in a wooded ravine near North Water Street.
