The Campbell County Coroner has identified the human remains found in the woods on Northern Kentucky University’s campus earlier this month.
The deceased is Gary Randall. According to a release from the university, Randall was not a student at NKU nor affiliated with the university in any way. As previously stated by the campus, his body is believed to have been in the woods for several years.
No foul play was involved, per the university. The cause of death has not yet been determined, the release said.
“We want to reassure our students, faculty, and staff that Northern Kentucky University is a safe, secure campus,” Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Eddie Howard said. “This case was an isolated incident, and at no point was anyone on our campus in any danger. We are grateful to Chief Gaffin, the entire NKU Police Department, the Campbell County Coroner’s Office, and the Campbell County Special Incident Response Team for their tireless efforts to bring this case to a close. We send our condolences and hope this brings closure to the family of Mr. Randall.”
