Police have identified human remains discovered Monday in a Fredericton landfill as 29-year-old Sterling Hunter of Fredericton.
Fredericton Police Chief Martin Gaudet told reporters on Wednesday that Hunter “was known to us and known to frequent shelters.”
“We are not investigating it as a homicide at this particular time,” said Gaudet. “We are not ruling out foul play completely yet.”
Gaudet said Hunter’s next of kin have been notified, and that an autopsy had been completed.
It could be several weeks before an exact cause of death is determined, according to Gaudet, with results from a toxicology report still being determined
Police said surveillance video footage showed Hunter at around 2:30 a.m. on Monday in an uptown area of the city’s south side.
“Police are looking to speak with anyone that had seen or spoken to Mr. Hunter beyond 2:30 a.m. on Monday, March 11,” said Gaudet.
