KENNEWICK — An autopsy discovered a bullet hole in the skull of skeletal remains found in Kennewick.

The Benton County coroner is still trying to determine whether the death was suicide, homicide or accidental.

The Tri-City Herald reported the unidentified body is that of a white man, about 35 years old who died in the past 18-to-30 months.

The body was found Monday by a surveyor.
