CINCINNATI — Human remains found in South Fairmount have been identified by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office as a man who was reported missing in April 2022.

The remains, found Feb. 14 near Fairmount Avenue and Iroquois Street, belong to Ronald King, the coroner's office said. The office has not yet determined how he died.

They were found in the 1700 block of Fairmount Avenue, which is near St. Clair Heights park in South Fairmount.

CPD and the coroner's office are conducting a death investigation into the skeletal remains, but police said at the time they believed the remains were "associated with a missing person from April 2022."

CPD said they do not currently believe, or have any evidence suggesting that these human remains are connected with the dismembered remains of a Jane Doe discovered in multiple locations in North Fairmount between November and January.
