Police now say there was no criminality involved in the death of a woman whose remains were found at a home in Oakville, Man., late last year.
Portage la Prairie RCMP were notified when the remains — described at the time as not historic in nature — were found at the home Dec. 21.
The RCMP’s major crime services took over the investigation with help from forensic identification services.
On Friday police said investigators have since determined the remains are those of a woman who had previously lived at the home.
