Remains found in Ironwood home slated for demolition

IRONWOOD, MI--   The remains of a deceased individual were found Monday afternoon in an Ironwood house being inspected for possible demolition. 

The Ironwood Daily Globe reports the person may have been dead for years, and police say it appears the person might have owned the house.  Officials say foul play isn’t suspected, but the incident remains under investigation by the Ironwood Public Safety Department and the medical examiner.

Other information is being withheld, pending notification of next of kin.

The house is on the city’s list of eyesores and is being considered for demolition under the state’s Hardest Hit blight grant program.
