MENDOCINO COUNTY, Calif. — The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the discovery of human remains over the weekend.

A report from Lt. James Elmore explained that just before 10 a.m. Saturday, deputies were dispatched to the 1800 block of Low Gap Road in Ukiah regarding found human remains.

Upon arrival, the deputies contacted members of a local nonprofit group who were conducting trash cleanup in the area.

Deputies were advised that while cleaning up trash, one of the nonprofit group members located what was believed to be human remains.

The deputies conducted a further search of the area and located what they confirmed to be adult human remains.

Investigators from both the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office and the Ukiah Police Department responded and processed the scene.

Investigators are researching active missing persons cases in an attempt to assist with identifying the human remains.

Once positive identification is made and the legal next of kin is notified, Elmore said that information will be released to the public.

As of Monday, the coroner's case is still actively being investigated, but foul play is not suspected.
