COLERAIN TWP. — Colerain police said a report was made Tuesday about a body found in a wooded area on Dry Ridge Road.

The coroner's office responded to the scene Tuesday evening.

Officials have not released any information on the person found or how they died.

A report from the Hamilton County Coroner's Office listed the body Wednesday morning, but the cause of death was reported as "pending" and no identification was provided.

The man who discovered the remains, Nick Hamer, said he was searching for a dead deer on his property when his dog pulled him along. Instead of a deer, he found the human remains around 40-50 yards away from his property, he said. Nearby was a deer's leg.

"I don't know if she picked up on the scent of the remains and that's why she kept pulling me over there or if she was on the dead deer ... and was just headed that way or not, so it's hard to tell, but she was pulling me in that direction," said Hamer.
