Mounties added that DNA testing was being undertaken to try and determine the person’s identity.

North Vancouver RCMP said the investigation remains in the hands of the coroners service at this point.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly attributed statements regarding DNA and the location of the remains to the BC Coroners Service. In fact, the statements came from the RCMP.
