(LEX 18) — The Campbell County Coroner has identified a body found March 12 in the woods on Northern Kentucky University's campus.

The coroner identified the victim as Gary Randall. Randall was not a student at NKU nor affiliated with the University in any way.

Officials say his body is believed to have been in the woods for several years but no foul play was involved.

A cause of death has not yet been determined.

According to the NKU Police Department, the body was found when an individual who was on campus for soccer related activities walked behind the stadium and discovered what looked to be decomposed human remains.

Police responded to the scene, along with a detective who contacted the Campbell County Special Incident Response Team to assist in the investigation. The coroner arrived on the scene to help in the investigation as well.
