Police Identify Human Remains Found In Creek Bed
COLLIN COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - Police responded to reports of human remains found in a creek bed in Anna Wednesday morning north of Taylor Boulevard.
By afternoon the remains were identified as those of Jacob Archibald, 40.
Archibald was reported missing by his wife after making suicidal remarks to her Sunday afternoon. But Collin County deputies couldn't find him at the time of her initial report.
"Although we do not have an exact cause of death at this time, the preliminary investigation indicates that Jacob may have slipped and fell approximately eight feet into the creek hitting his head on the way down. The Collin County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to rule out any foul play," Anna Police said on Facebook Wednesday afternoon.
Officers are working an active scene where human remains have been located in a creek north of Taylor Blvd in Anna. There is no active threat to the community. Media, all updates will be posted here. No additional information is available at this time.
