The human remains that were discovered at the Masonic Village on Thursday, Nov. 1 recently underwent an official autopsy.
The autopsy was completed last week by Lancaster County Coroner Steven Diamantoni, who was unable to find a cause of death for the deceased. Diamantoni’s office has called in additional forces to help make the final determination.
The identity of the skeletal remains has yet to be established, but Diamantoni stated the person has most likely been dead for “at least weeks.” Police have declared that the deceased is not a resident or staff member of the retirement home.
The body was originally found by a hunter in a wooded area that belongs to Masonic Village. There was also no apparent evidence of how the deceased passed and it could be several weeks before more information is known regarding the remains.
