Maine State Police are investigating after human remains were found near a Casco home.

The remains were found on property near a home on the Poland Spring Road on Saturday afternoon. Police told WMTW-TV that the death is considered suspicious, but didn't offer any details about what led them to that conclusion.

Police will now try to identify the remains and determine how the person died. It's unclear, at this point, how long the remains have been there.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life.
