Human remains discovered in Whistler

Whistler mounties are investigating the discovery of human remains.

Police don’t suspect foul play.

RCMP Staff Sergeant Steve Leclair says two hikers came across the remains in a wooded area east of Highway 99 — in the Alpine Meadows area.

Leclair says it’s too early to speculate over identity, cause of death or other circumstances.

“There’s a certain level of decomposition that prevents us from being able to identify who they are, or in-fact what the gender is or race… certainly they’ve been there for some time.”

The remains were found not too far from a school in the area.

More information will likely be revealed in the coming days.
