Human remains found on old Broadwater resort site

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Biloxi police and the Harrison County Coroner’s Office are conducting an investigation into the death of a person whose remains were found on the old Broadwater resort site.

Police Lt. Christopher De Back tells The Sun Herald (https://bit.ly/1Hu2JHL) a resident walking in the area discovered human remains around 1 p.m. Thursday in a wooded area off Beach Boulevard.

Authorities say the death is being treated as suspicious.
