Human remains of man buried in Regina more than 5 years ago located: police

Regina police are appealing to the public for help in identifying the human remains of a man discovered buried within the city. The discovery was made earlier this month after police received a report of human remains buried outside a home on the 1300 block of Retallack Street. An autopsy confirmed the man had been interred at that location for at least five years.

Investigators have stated that the man's description does not correspond with any individuals reported missing to the Regina Police Service (RPS). This lack of identification, coupled with other findings, leads police to believe the death is suspicious. The autopsy also revealed that the man had sustained a broken jaw at some point in his life, an injury that had required surgical attention.

The man does not match the descriptions of any people reported missing to the service and police believe his death is suspicious.

Based on the autopsy, the coroner estimates the man was between 30 and 40 years old and stood approximately five feet nine inches tall at the time of his death. The Regina Police Service is urging anyone with information regarding the identity of this individual or the circumstances surrounding his death to come forward.
