Human remains found by Canmore RCMP near the Spray Lakes Reservoir

Canmore RCMP are investigating after human remains were found in the Spray Lakes Reservoir area Thursday.

Police located what appears to be a human jaw bone and other bone fragments after being called out to the area by hikers.

The area is now being searched for more evidence, and the remains have been taken to a medical examiner in Calgary.

"It is too early to determine at this time if this is, or is not, a non-criminal death," said RCMP in a release.

More information will be released after autopsy results are finalized next week.
