The Office of the Chief Coroner is taking the lead on an investigation into some human remains that were found just west of Chatham.
Chatham-Kent police said they were called to the address on Grand River Line between Winterline Road and Crow Road in Dover Township shortly before 10 a.m. Thursday after an excavating company uncovered some bones.
Officers secured the scene, took some photos and collected the bones, and then sent the evidence to the Office of the Chief Coroner.
Police said the preliminary examination suggests the bones have been there for many years and are of a "historical nature," adding that there is no concern for public safety.
