Foul play is not suspected in the case of human remains found last Thursday morning in North Delta.

Delta police were called to the 10700-block of Nordel Way around 11 a.m. after a passerby reported finding what appeared to be human remains in a wooded area close to a condo complex.

Upon arrival, officers confirmed they were human remains.

"I can confirm that no foul play is suspected," said Delta police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks.

"We still need to wait on confirmation of gender and identify and that will be done through forensics."

The department's major crimes section was called in to process the scene and determine the circumstances. Brooks said the investigation concluded late Thursday evening.
