WHITETHORN -- Human remains were discovered by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department Friday in Southern Humboldt, although the case does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
Deputies responded to a report received yesterday from a man who was walking in an isolated area off of Nooning Creek Road near Whitethorn about 10:30 in the morning. The man found a parked sports utility vehicle and a skeleton nearby. Sheriff's detectives, a deputy coroner and a criminal investigator from the Department of Justice arrived on scene about 2:00 p.m., and their preliminary conclusion is that the remains had been there for several months.
There has been a preliminary identification made of the decedent, although the name has not been released to the public at this time and the cause of death has yet to be determined pending further investigation by the coroner.
