The Gainesville Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are investigating the discovery of human remains in a vacant lot along Jesse Jewell Parkway.
The remains, which have not been identified, were found near Dorsey Street, said Sgt. Kevin Holbrook, Gainesville Police spokesman.
Authorities have not ruled out foul play in the investigation, and Holbrook said they have yet to determine the gender and approximate age of the individual.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of death.
