RCMP Major Crimes Unit and forensics investigators are currently on scene after a body was discovered in the ditch of Highway 22, north of the Highway 8 traffic circle this morning.
While the investigation is unfolding officers have yet to release the sex, age and ethnicity of the person.
The discovery comes almost exactly two months after a local resident discovered human remains in Redwood Meadows on May 11. That investigation is also on going as investigators have yet to determine the age, sex, ethnicity and cause of death.
RCMP officers want the public to know traffic on Highway 22 will be re-routed between Highway 1 and Highway 8 this morning.
“This disruption to traffic is expected to last for several hours this morning while the scene is processed, ” the press release stated.
Motorists travelling in the area are asked to find an alternative route, such as Sarcee Trail or Range Road 33 at Calaway Park.
