Investigators initially said there appeared to be char marks on the bones but this could be due to decomposition.
It was unclear whether the body was a man or a woman.

"It may be likely the remains are that of the missing person however further evidence is still to be obtained from a post mortem, that is happening tomorrow," Detective Inspector Tony Geary.
Further investigations led police to search a Balkee Drive address where the two men were arrested.
It's believed the 41-year-old and 31-year-old, both from Caboolture, knew Howe and that one of the men lived with her at the Caboolture address.
"They reside together at the house but they are not in a relationship," Geary said.
The body remains were found on a remote track of the mountains in the Sunshine Coast's hinterland region. Nine
The two men have each been charged with one count of murder and interfering with a corpse.
Both men will appear in Caboolture Magistrate's Court today.
Police are appealing for anyone with information on Howe's disappearance to come forward.
