WASHINGTON, Pa. — An investigation is underway after human remains were found in the City of Washington on Sunday.
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco says the remains were found in a wooded area near I-70 East around 10:30 a.m. Washington County Police Chief Steve Devenney added the remains were skeletal and located in a wooded area behind 150 Terrace Ave.
Devenney says the race or gender of the remains is not known. The coroner’s office will work to determine that information, as well as the contributing factors that led to the death.
The investigation is being treated as criminal until medical findings determine otherwise. Devenney stresses that this classification does not mean a crime has occurred but rather is a standard procedure for this type of incident.
