RCMP have ruled that the human remains discovered in the Irishtown Nature Park on Monday are not the result of a suspicious death.
Dennis Dollemont, platoon chief with Moncton Fire and Emergency, told Global News on Monday that they received a call at approximately 9 a.m., requesting assistance with recovering the body.

Dollemont said the body was found near the trail about a 10-minute walk into the woods.
“It is a male believed to be in his 20s,” he told Global News.
The Mounties, members of the fire department, the coroner and Ambulance New Brunswick responded to the scene.
“We had to send an off-road vehicle with a toboggan to bring him out,” Dollemont said.
