Police say they’ve found no evidence of criminal activity after the discovery of human remains at a structure fire on Fredericton’s north side last week.
Police are still investigating the discovery of a woman’s remains in a wooded area near Two Nations Crossing, said Fredericton Police Force spokesperson Megan Barker in an email Tuesday morning.
“An autopsy has been completed, and efforts to confirm the individual’s identity are ongoing,” Barker said.
“While there are no indications of foul play at this early stage of the investigation, it has not been ruled out.”
Police said last Friday that human remains were found following the response to a structure fire in the wooded area at about 5:40 p.m. Thursday.
When crews arrived, they found “a small structure fully engulfed in flames,” police said.
Once the fire was extinguished, first responders found the woman’s remains inside the structure.
CBC News asked the police force for more information about the structure but has not received a response.
