Cedar City • An autopsy will be conducted to try to identify and determine the cause of death of a person whose skeletal remains were found in a drainage tunnel under Interstate 15 in Cedar City.
The remains were spotted Saturday by two youths walking in the area, police said.
The youths told their parents who notified police.
Police said the remains are in advanced stages of decomposition and that investigators didn’t immediately determine anything about them.
