8.85 cAlberta RCMP say human remains discovered earlier this month near a historic site south of Eden Valley have been identified as a 24 year old man from Calgary.
Officers were called on February 4 after emergency crews responded to a grass fire in the rural area. Once the flames were extinguished, first responders located a burned out vehicle at the scene. A body was later found inside the vehicle.
Mounties have not publicly released the man’s name, citing the ongoing investigation and the need to notify family members. Police also have not confirmed the cause of death.
RCMP say the circumstances surrounding the death are considered suspicious. Investigators continue to examine the scene and are asking anyone with information about activity in the area around February 4 to contact police.
