The Mounties say foul play is suspected in the case of a body found near the Malahat Friday.
The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit is now investigating and Island District RCMP say an autopsy has been scheduled for later in the week.
The RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and search and rescue crews could be seen at a rest stop and viewpoint area of the Malahat on Friday, when the discovery was first reported. But Police have not said much, such as how long the remains had been there or who found them.
