MOOSE JAW - Human remains have been identified in the RM of Moose Jaw.

On April 28, Moose Jaw RCMP received a report of human remains located in a rural area northeast of Moose Jaw.

RCMP say images were released publicly of some items located in an effort to help identify the individual.

A ground search was conducted of the immediate area by police.

Investigators located several papers that were stuck together and unreadable.

Experts with the RCMP’s Forensic Identification Services re-hydrated the papers, yielding a possible identification or name of the person.

As a result of DNA analysis, the deceased individual’s identity was confirmed to be a man from Saskatchewan. His family has been notified by investigators.

As the man’s death is not considered suspicious, there are no outstanding missing persons reports associated to the individual, and the family has asked for privacy during this difficult time. The RCMP will not be naming him.
