Human bones found near Thompson River in Kamloops
The eroded riverbanks of Thompson River in Kamloops permitted the discovery of human bones which are suspected to be of historical and archaeological value.
Walking along the river at around 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2, a person spotted what they assumed to be human bones in the clay banks along the water, according to an RCMP media. Police didn't provide an exact location.
Police came to the site and temporarily closed it to the public for an investigation aided by the BC Coroners Service and its team of anthropologists.
“Based on the preliminary findings, the bones are believed to be human and archeological in nature, at this time,” Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in the release.
Police and the BC Coroners Service are continuing the investigation.
Anyone with information, or who comes across any bones suspected to be human, is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
