Police Ask Public To Help Identify Human Remains Found In North Babylon

Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad detectives are seeking the public’s help to identify the remains of a man that were found in North Babylon last year.

A 911 caller reported finding skeletal remains in a wooded area of Southards Pond Park, south of Sunrise Highway, on February 15, 2023 at approximately 1 p.m. Following an investigation by Homicide Squad detectives, the cause of death was determined to be non-criminal in nature.

The Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office believes the remains to be of a Black male between the ages of 25 and 40. He is between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 5 inches tall, and had been dead for approximately two years prior to being found. He was wearing a black jacket with “Nike Running” on the sleeve, black pants with black and white basketball sneakers and a gray running hat. It is under investigation whether a backpack located near the body belonged to the man.
