Whistler police are investigating the discovery of remains they say they "believe to be human."
Pique first received an unconfirmed tip from the public Oct. 11 that remains were discovered, along with a wallet, in a wooded area off Mons Road. After asking Whistler RCMP for more information, police on Oct. 24 finally confirmed they are investigating the matter, alongside the BC Coroners Service, but provided little other detail.
"It is important to note that we do not have any public safety concerns surrounding the discovery of the remains," said Cpl. Katrina Boehmer, media relations officer with the Whistler RCMP.
"As the matter is with the BC Coroners Service for further investigation, the Sea to Sky (Whistler) RCMP will not be able to provide any further details at this time."
A voicemail left with the Coroners Service was not immediately returned.
Pique will update this story if and when more information becomes available.
