Skeletal remains found in north suburban woods
|
NILES (STNG) -- Forest preserve workers in Niles discovered human remains Saturday afternoon in a wooded area of the north suburb.
In the early afternoon, workers at Bunker Hill Woods, near Harts Road and Touhy Avenue, found a sleeping bag that contained “badly decomposed” skeletal remains, Cook County Forest Preserve District police spokesman Steve Mayberry said.
Due to decomposition, the age and gender of the remains were “impossible” to determine upon discovery, Mayberry said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office responded to the scene and will work to identify the remains and determine the person’s cause of death, Mayberry said.
An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.
