Police and fire rescue found the remains in the retention pond, but because of the nature of the chemicals and use of the pond, recovery of the remains has been delayed to ensure the health and safety of all police and fire personnel, authorities said.

The remains will be sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Medical Examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.

Glynn County Police said they would release more information as it becomes available.
