Investigation has revealed that a collection of bones discovered in a coulee near Highway 837 are not human.

The Mail reported that police were investigating a discovery of bones made last Saturday, October 17 that appeared to be human. Police employed a medical examiner and a veterinarian to examine the find.

Staff Sergeant Grant MacDonald told The Mail on Tuesday afternoon that they have confirmed the bones are not human in nature, but come from a number of different animals.

            “There were multiple bones of different sizes; bison, cow, some teeth from an ungulate and birds,” said MacDonald.
