Abdool Nazim, 46, a Guyanese-South American man, was identified as the remains found on Sunday, August 21 by local teenagers who were in the Maple Beach area of the township near the Burlington-Bristol Bridge.
Bucks County Coroner Meredith Buck sought assistance from the FBI to identify the remains. Previously, authorities and the public were unable to make a positive identification after several weeks.
Nazin was reported missing from Philadelphia on July 31, the coroner said.
