Police have not released any details about the victim.
A spokeswoman for the Northwestern district attorney’s office says the remains have been turned over to the medical examiner to determine the cause and manner of death.
Skeletal human remains were found in Hatfield late last month. They turned out to be the remains of 39-year-old Joanne Ringer, of Clarksburg, who has been missing for about a year.
