A few days after the find in August, the police managed to identify the remains, they belonged to a man who had been missing since 2018.
Less than a month later, the police also found the rest of the body in close proximity to the previous site.
David Helgesson, head of the police's serious crime department in Umeå, said in October that the police had no real suspicions of crime but that the murder classification remained because there were some question marks left and they wanted to go through belongings that had been found in connection with the body finds. .
But now the police have closed the preliminary investigation as there was nothing to indicate crime. The police themselves write on their website that relatives of the man have been informed of the decision.
