KAMLOOPS — An eroded riverbank led to the discovery of bones that are suspected to be human and archeological in nature over the weekend.

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP say a person was walking along the Thompson River at around 6:15 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 2) when they saw what appeared to be human bones imbedded in the clay bank near the water’s edges.

Police and the BC Coroners Service and its anthropologist attended the area and briefly closed it to the public as part of their investigation.

Anyone with information on the bones, or who comes across any bones suspected to be human, is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP.
