Investigators are trying to determine the identity of a person whose skeletal remains were discovered on a property in Loma Linda over the weekend.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department responded to a call Sunday at approximately 11:29 a.m. to investigate the unpleasant discovery, said Mara Rodriguez, sheriff's department spokeswoman.
The remains were found on the perimeter of a property in the 11400 block of San Timoteo Canyon Road in Loma Linda.
The remains were determined to be human and the Sheriff's Investigations Division responded and took over the investigation approximately one hour later.
Authorities had not determined the age or other identifying details of the deceased person as of Monday morning.
“The recovered remains, which include several bones, will undergo examination and an autopsy to determine the identity of the deceased as well as the cause of death,” according to an initial investigation report.
No further information was released because the investigation is ongoing, Rodriguez said.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact Detective Michael Roth of the Specialized Investigations Division at (909) 890-4904. If a caller wishes to remain anonymous, he can receive tips by contacting We-Tip at (800) 782-7463.
