GREENWICH — Police and forensic examiners have concluded that the skeletal remains found in a town park in Old Greenwich were the result of a fairly recent death.
“A few months to a few years,” said police Lt. David Nemecek. The skeleton did not belong to someone who died long ago.
Police have recovered some other human bones in the area as part of an extensive search that began when the remains of the person were found in late April. There is heavy tidal action in a little stream next to where the skeleton was found, connected with Binney Pond. Some of the human bones were found far away from the original site of the discovery in Helen Binney Kitchel Park Natural Park as a result of the water flow.
“Every indication is it’s from the same person,” said the lieutenant.
When Binney Pond is dredged in coming weeks, police investigators will also be scouring the area for any new evidence associated with the finding of the skeletal remains.
“We’ll try to find everything we can,” said Nemecek.
Detectives have also been pursuing other methods to determine why and how the person died in the town park.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is handling the forensic evidence. The gender and age of the person has not been publicly released.
