Human remains identified as missing northeastern Ont. man

The Emsdale man had been last seen at work.
After an extensive search by the canine unit and emergency response team was unsuccessful, human remains were found in a wooded area in the nearby town of Katrine on May 3.
Both communities are located along Highway 11 within about five kilometres of each other.
In an update Tuesday, OPP said the remains have been identified as Kingston.
"Foul play has been ruled out," police said.
