Police are trying to determine the identity and cause of death of a body found
under Carpenter Bridge in St. Marys.
The badly decomposed remains were found Saturday and sent to the State Medical
Examiners Office. The case is being treated as a homicide.
The remains were described as "skeletal."
Fayette County authorities are also investigating the discovery of human
remains.
Sheriff Bill Laird says a hunter found a decomposed body on a hillside above US
Route 60.
The sheriff said it's too early to tell if the remains are male or female.
