Seattle Police and the Medical Examiner were in Capitol Hill’s Interlaken Park Sunday in an area taped off and closed during an investigation inside the leafy greenbelt.

A SPD representative said he did not yet have information to release publicly about the investigation near the eastern edge of the woody park that connects northern Capitol Hill with the Montlake neighborhood.

UPDATE 9/5/2016: A representative for SPD tells CHS that a person walking through Interlaken found “skeletonized remains” Sunday in an area of the park’s ravine below 20th Ave E. Police were called to the area and along with the Medical Examiner completed collection of evidence at the scene. While the bones are clearly human, police tell CHS there is nothing indicating a suspicious death or foul play at this time. The Medical Examiner is currently investigating the death and attempting to determine an identity and cause.

A person who lives in the area told CHS Sunday night that police were telling neighbors that possible skeletal remains had been found in the park. The remains appeared to have been in the area for a long period of time.
