According to police, a man discovered a mess after an apparent party and decided to clean it up. As he was cleaning up the area, he came across what looked to be human remains, which included bones, teeth, and a skull. The man then reported it to a lifeguard on the beach.

The police are waiting for forensic confirmation before confirming 100% that the remains are human, SDPD said in a briefing at around 1:30 p.m.

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Police Department investigated a report of human remains, including bones, found in a fire pit on Fiesta Island around 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 29.

The remains were determined to be human. The investigators received information from community members which led to the identification of the remains

"After a thorough investigation, it was determined the man died in the fire pit, but no foul play was suspected in his death," said Lieutenant Matt Dobbs of the San Diego Police Department. "He was identified as a 79-year-old Hispanic male."

The department does not plan to release the man's name since he is not considered a victim of a crime.

This makes no sense.  Did he fall in and just cook away on his own?  I mean like WTF?

Conklin said the fire pit was surrounded by trash -- beer cans, wine bottles, a golf club, shoes, clothes and pills in a plastic days-of-the-week container -- evidence, he thought, of a large party. But that was never confirmed by police.

That would be a huge bonfire from the start in order to throw yourself in and be only bones remaining, without anyone else tending it. Seems impossible to be an accident, maybe a really outlandish suicide, but all that trash doesn't seem like it would add up to that either. Idk, not my job to figure out. Certainly adds a creepy little undertone to the name "Fiesta Island."
