Police have closed an investigation into human remains that were found in Lake Erie near Pottahawk Point.
The human skeletal remains were located in the water by boaters on Saturday and police were called at around 7:22 p.m. Police said the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit conducted an extensive search of the area on Tuesday, but did not find further remains.
After being thoroughly examined by a forensic anthropologist, police said it was determined that human remains are historic in nature and will not be part of a criminal investigation.
"The remains have been reported to the cemeteries registrar and will not involve a coroner or any further police investigation," Norfolk County OPP said in a news release.
