Remains found at the Windsor Jail are remnants missed when an old grave was dug up in 1980.
The bones comes from a male prisoner who was executed at the jail in the 1930s.
"Our archaeological consultant was undertaking their assessment for the property and identified some very small bone fragments of human remains that were found in a known and previously documented grave within the jail yard," says Ian McConchie with Infrastructure Ontario. "There was a grave there from an individual who was buried at the prison in the 1930s and that person was reinterred in 1980 and some small portions may have been missed during that initial reinterment."
McConchie says the Registrar of Cemeteries has been contacted to research where the body was moved to.
