EDMONTON – Mounties in northern Alberta say they’ve found human remains belonging to a 12-year-old Edmonton resident.

RCMP in Athabasca say they’ve also deemed the death of the youth a homicide.

Police say the remains, who they identified as Fiasal Hussein, were found early Thursday.

An autopsy was done a day later.

A chief medical examiner then ruled the 12-year-old’s death a homicide.

Police are asking anyone who might have been recording early Thursday morning on their dash cams near the northern hamlet of Calling Lake, or in surrounding areas, to contact investigators.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 9, 2026.
