The bone was tested and the identity of the person was not able to be determined at that time.

On October 6, 2020, Hamilton Police attended another location within Windermere Basin Park where human remains were discovered. These remains were sent to the Centre of Forensic Sciences...

Due to found suspected human remains, the office of the Coroner was contacted and has now taken carriage of the investigation.
