Authorities launched a major investigation Monday after human bones were discovered in the rural Inzal area of Morocco’s Ouarzazate province.

A local woman stumbled upon the skeletal remains and immediately notified authorities, prompting an urgent response from the Royal Gendarmerie and local officials, who secured the site in accordance with public prosecutor instructions.

The bones were found in a remote area, making it difficult at this stage to determine their origin or how long they had been there, officials said.

The remains have been sent to a laboratory for genetic and anthropological analysis to establish the individual’s identity, gender, approximate age, and whether the death resulted from foul play or an accident.

Royal Gendarmerie units, supported by specialized technical teams, continue to sweep the area for additional evidence. Investigators are also interviewing residents, including the woman who made the discovery.

Authorities have not released further details pending the results of forensic testing.
