Human remains found in Burton - RCMP
Police force turns to public for tips that could help to identify adult male found Nov. 8
The remains of an adult male were found in Burton last week, and the RCMP is hoping someone out there might be able to help officers identify who it was.
“On Nov. 8, 2023, members of the West District RCMP community crime reduction unit began an investigation into the discovery of human remains that were located along the Saint John river in Burton, N.B.,” said an RCMP news release issued Wednesday afternoon.
“With the assistance of a forensic anthropologist it has since been determined that the deceased would be a Caucasian man, between the ages of 20 and 50 years old, who would have died within the past 10 years.”
The release said that when the man died, he was wearing a medium, dark (black or navy) “MAD Engine” brand shirt, and a pair of “BC Clothing” brand jeans, size 32/32.
It said the RCMP is co-ordinating its efforts with the National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains to help identify the deceased, but it’s also asking that anyone with information that could help put a name to the body or that could aid the investigation to contact the New Brunswick RCMP at 1-888-506-7267.
