Bournemouth body in tree 'thought to be suicide'
Police investigating the discovery of human remains in a tree in Bournemouth have said they believe the death to be suicide.
Police said the body was so badly decomposed it was not possible to determine if it was male or female.
It is thought to have been on the golf course for several months. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Formal identification has not yet taken place.
The remains of the arm and hand were discovered by the dog in a wooded area near the fourth hole on Monday.
On Tuesday, more body parts were found 40ft (12m) up a tree in a "secluded wooded area off the main golf course".
The discovery came after a specialist team of sniffer dogs from South Wales Police were brought in to help the investigation.
Det Insp Mark Samuel said the force was "keeping an open mind" and unsolved missing persons reports were being investigated.
