Human remains found near Ignace identified

Human remains discovered by blueberry pickers near Ignace have been identified, and police say they do not suspect foul play.

Officers from the Dryden and Ignace detachment of the OPP say they’ve concluded their investigation into the human remains that were discovered along Highway 17, about 25 kilometres east of Ignace in August.

A post mortem examination in Toronto, along with medical records, led officials to identify the human remains as belonging to 55-year-old Steven Raycroft.

Raycroft had no fixed addressed and was known to regularly travel across Canada.

Police do not suspect foul play.
