Police have identified a man whose remains were found near Port Albert eight years ago.
Huron OPP say the remains of a man washed up along the shores of the Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh town October 15th, 2016.
Officers suspected the unidentified man may have previously been interviewed by the news outlet SooToday under the assumed name Mitchell Nelson.
The man’s DNA was submitted to investigators, and his name was confirmed to be Garnet Michael Nelson of Alberta.
He was 56 years old at the time of his death and investigators have confirmed that he is the same man that was interviewed by the news outlet in September 2016.
