Baytoday has learned that police are investigating some reported unknown remains that were discovered by some hikers Sunday afternoon at Duchesnay Falls just West of the city on Highway 17.

An anonymous hiker told BayToday that he noticed the remains and contacted police about the sighting up in the falls between two large rocks just before the crossing bridge.

The Ontario Provincial Police are on the scene, but aren't releasing any information or making any statements about the possible investigation at this time.

Officers on the scene did say they are conducting a preliminary investigation, but would neither confirm nor deny the nature of the investigation or the reports they received, saying it wouldn't be fair to release any kind of official statement before they know exactly what they are dealing with. 

City police were on the scene earlier but have since left and have deferred all inquiries to the OPP, as it is their jurisdiction.

The surrounding trails remain open for now, but the investigators said they plan on extending the restricted area soon.
