A hunter discovered human remains in Bow on Saturday, according to the New Hampshire attorney general’s office.
Dense brush surrounded the scene along South Bow Road where the body was found, in an area crossed by power lines running overhead.
The Bow Police Department received a 911 call from the hunter reporting the body just before 7:30 a.m. Local police and state troopers confirmed it, but the person’s identity, age and gender are unknown, authorities said.
As of 2 p.m., police remained on site while investigators continued photographing the area, documenting every detail.
Bow Police Chief Ken Miller said there is no known threat to the public.
Bow Select Board Chair Kip McDaniel declined to comment.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy on Sunday.
The attorney general’s office asked anyone with information about the death, or who was walking near the area within the last week, to contact investigators at 603-628-8477.
