Possible Human Remains Found In Marin County

MARIN COUNTY, CA – Authorities are investigating the discovery of possible human remains found last week in Marin County. They were discovered by hikers March 2 on federal land, in the Marin Headlands area near the Golden Gate Bridge, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office-Coroner Division.

The National Park Service contacted the coroner's division after the discovery was made.

The "skeletonized" remains, which appear to be of human origin, were found in an open space area commonly inhabited by transients, according to officials. Foul play is not suspected.

"Evidence at the scene was suggestive of this being a previously occupied transient encampment," officials said in a statement.

The remains will undergo further examination and evaluation in an effort to positively identify the subject.

The case is still under investigation by the coroner's division and the National Park Service.

No other information was immediately available.
