Detectives are investigating the discovery of a dead body that was found near a former quarry off Highway 3 in unincorporated Bremerton Feb. 7, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office says.

A witness called 911 to report the body after spotting it in the 3400 block of Highway 3. Detectives determined that the remains were brought to the site after the person was deceased, KCSO says.

Initial evidence gathered by detectives revealed no apparent signs of trauma or violence and that there is no threat to the public.

The Kitsap County Medical Examiner’s Office will investigate to determine the cause and manner of death. That office will also release the identity of the deceased after it is confirmed and the next of kin has been notified, per KCSO.
