Death investigation underway after hunter finds human remains in Bow, NH

A hunter found human remains in Bow, New Hampshire, prompting a death investigation early Saturday morning.

The hunter called 911 shortly after 7:30 am. reporting he had discovered what appeared to be human remains in an area of heavy brush along a power line corridor off of South Bow Road, according to New Hampshire State Police and the NH Attorney General’s Office — both agencies are assisting Bow Police with the investigation.

Officers arrived on scene and located the remains of a deceased person. The identity, age and gender of the person are unknown at this time, officials said. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday at the chief medical examiner’s office in Concord.

The investigation is in its early stages, according to authorities, who said no further information is expected to be released until after the autopsy.

Anyone with information about this death, or anyone who was walking the area or trails near the power lines off of South Bow Road to Twist Hill Road in Dunbarton within the last week is asked to contact investigators at 603-628-8477, or by email at [email protected]. Callers may remain anonymous.
