OPP have identified the human remains found over a week ago in Norfolk County.
The remains, found by hunters on Oct. 25 in Lake Erie, are of 59-year-old Raymond Burns of New Kensington, Pennsylvania.
“Hunters were in the area and observed what appeared to be human remains and immediately contacted police,” OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk said.

After a post-mortem examination, OPP do not think foul play appears to be a factor and they are not treating the death as suspicious.
Burns went missing in August after the fishing vessel he was on sank in the Ohio area.
