Human remains found at Joshua Tree National Park

(KSWT/KYMA/KECY) - Human remains have been found at Joshua Tree National Park in California on Saturday.

Park authorities were alerted to the possible presence of remains Thursday morning by a cooperating agency that said it may have found evidence of human remains while examining pictures taken at the park last summer.

The remains were found in a remote part of the 49 Palms Oasis area of the park.

An investigation led by the National Park Service and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is ongoing. The park service said Saturday the identity of the person and cause of death have yet to be determined, but there doesn't seem to have been any foul play involved.
