Human Remains Found In Dearborn: Police

DEARBORN, MI — Human remains were found near Downtown West Dearborn and police believe the unidentified man may have been homeless, according to the Dearborn Police Department.

On Tuesday the Dearborn Police Department was notified by CSX Transportation that possible human remains had been located in a wooded area near Michigan Avenue and Miller Road.

Officers responded and searched the area and confirmed the remains to be human. The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office now has the remains and based the preliminary findings, investigators believe that foul play was not involved, Dearborn police said.

As of now, police say they have not been able to identify the individual.

They did say he appeared to be an older white male, wearing tan pants, a tan Carhart style jacket, an orange knit cap, and boots. Police said he was likely homeless at the time of his death and they are now collaborating with regional partners to search missing person databases.

“It is imperative that we identify this subject so that family members can be notified and a full investigation completed,” said Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad.
