The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help in identifying a deceased person found north of Gold Beach.
Deputies responded to a forested area near Edson Creek Road and Old Coast Highway on Wednesday afternoon, after two Gold Beach residents reported finding the remains of a human being while on a mushroom picking trip. Police found the remains of a person who appeared to have died several months ago. Police could not determine whether the person was male or female. The body was taken to Redwood Memorial Chapel in Brookings. The Curry County Medical Examiner will examine the remains, a press release said.
Police also found a blue-green 21-speed bicycle and a black backpack with green trim near the body, which was clothed in blue jeans and a blue jean jacket. Anyone with information about the body is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (541) 247-3242.
