Kamloops RCMP say firefighters found the remains while responding to a suspicious fire off Mission Flats Road, along the shoreline near the entrance to the City of Kamloops landfill.
Police said the body had not been identified.
“Early tips from the public are often critical to solving cases of this nature,” Cpl. Dave Marshall of the Kamloops Serious Crime Unit said in a media release.
