Coroner Chase Ridgeway told News13 the remains had been there for a few weeks, but he doesn’t know if they were a male or female. He said an autopsy will be scheduled to determine the manner of death and that he can’t say if foul play was involved or not.
The person still had their shoes on when they were found, according to a News13 reporter at the scene. EMS was not at the scene, but six law enforcement vehicles were.
