The post-mortem examination was inconclusive regarding the cause of Bigg’s death and the remains were identified only through the man’s dental records, according to ABC News.
The police urge anyone with information relating to Bigg’s whereabouts between 2012 and 2021 or any other details that could aid the investigation to come forward, ensuring that those who wish to remain anonymous can do so, the report states.
