Police have identified human remains found at a north Phoenix mountain range earlier this week as Bradley Klose, 16, who was reported missing in April.

Phoenix Police found the remains after they were called to the area of  67th Avenue and Happy Valley Road, west of the Deem Hills Recreation Area, according to a news release.

When officers arrived, they were told by a witness they believed there were human remains on a remote area of the mountain. Police said several resources were used to locate and direct investigators to the area of the found remains.

Klose was identified, but the cause of death is still being determined.

Phoenix Police found the remains and Peoria Police is handling the death investigation. They say there does not appear to be any foul play or suspicious circumstances. There are no suspects in custody and there are no suspects being sought, the release said.

A statement released by the family said this is a heartbreaking end to their search.

"Our family is in mourning and kindly asks for privacy as we work through this difficult time," according to the statement. "Though this is not the outcome we had hoped for, we praise God for answering prayers and shining a light on Bradley. We would like to thank all of our friends, neighbors, the community and the Peoria police Department for not giving up on the search.”

Klose, who was on the autism spectrum, went missing April 8 after he left his workplace near Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road, which was not a normal thing for him to do, the release said.
