Authorities are investigating after the skeletal remains of two people were found Saturday morning in Freetown State Forest in Fall River, officials said.

Officers responding to a call from a hunter who found the remains deep in the forest around 9:50 a.m. launched an investigation that found a small Honda Accord off of an access road and the skeletal remains of two adults nearby, according to a statement issued by Bristol District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III.

A suicide note was also found in the area.

The remains were transported to the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner pending autopsies.

No additional information was immediately available.
