D’Iberville Police Chief Wayne Payne says that a man noticed a tent in a wooded area Wednesday afternoon. He called police after looking inside the tent and finding the remains.

Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove says the body appears to be that of an adult.

Payne says there were no apparent signs of foul play and could not say whether the person had been living in the tent.

Investigators gathered evidence in the wooded area before sending the skeleton to Jackson for an autopsy.
