PORTLAND Oregon (KPTV) – Human remains found in downtown Portland Monday and last week belonged to a 38-year-old man, police said Wednesday.
The first discovery was made Oct. 13, when a campground cleanup crew found human remains inside a trash bag in the area of southeast Harvey Milk Street and southwest Naito Parkway.
Then, on Monday, Oct. 19, police said human remains were found at another homeless camp near West Burnside Street and I-405 around 12:40 p.m.
According to the Portland Police Bureau, the state medical examiner confirmed the remains all belonged to one person. His name has not yet been released.
Police said that while the ME is still awaiting toxicology tests, the remains do not show any specific injuries or “abnormalities.”
Detectives are still investigating how the man’s remains were separated, police said. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact homicidetips@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 26-304859.
