Skeletal human remains found near Cedar City

A group of workers building a trail south of Cedar City uncovered skeletal human remains Wednesday afternoon.

The bones are believed to have been there for at least a year and possibly several years or more, Iron County Sheriff Ken Carpenter said.

“It wasn’t a complete skeleton. It’s been there for awhile, a long while,” he said, adding that very little clothing was found with the remains.

The area where the bones were found is reportedly within or near the Shurtz Canyon trail system, a couple miles south of Cedar City and east of Hamilton Fort.
