Partial human remains have been found in a Burnaby, B.C., park.

A passerby called RCMP after making the grim discovery in a wooded area of Confederation Park around 10:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday. Investigators later confirmed the remains are human.

A statement said officers will be on scene for a few days as the investigation continues.

The remains haven't been identified and RCMP say it's too early to identify how they ended up in the park.

Officials said there is no risk to the public.
