Coroner IDs Body Found In Forest Preserve

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (CBS) ― The DuPage County Coroner's Office has positively identified the skeletal remains discovered in the Lyman Woods Nature Preserve on Thursday.

The body was that of Daniel B. Smiechowski, 28, of Downers Grove.
Smiechowski was reported missing to Downers Grove Police on March 16, 2007.

At the time of the missing persons report, there was nothing to lead police investigators to believe that there was anything suspicious about Smiechowski's disappearance.

The office utilized dental records to identify Smiechowski.

Smiechowski's skeletal remains were found under accumulated snow and ice in a heavily wooded area of west suburban Downers Grove.

Police received a 911 call just before 1:30 p.m. Thursday from workers clearing brush in Lyman Woods near 36th and Sterling Road in the western suburb to check on what appeared to be human skeletal remains about one-quarter mile inside the heavily wooded lot, police said.

The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Police are investigating.
