Human remains have been found in the area of the US San Gabriel mountains where British actor Julian Sands went missing more than five months ago.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said civilian hikers had contacted authorities on Saturday morning after finding the remains in the Mount Baldy area.
The remains have been transported to the Coroner’s Office, pending positive identification, the department said.
It is expected that identification should be completed next week, at which point the department will issue a press release.


Sands, 65, failed to return from a hike in the Mount Baldy area of the southern Californian mountains on January 13.
The actor is known for his roles in films A Room With A View, Leaving Las Vegas and Warlock, as well as TV appearances on 24, Smallville and Banshee.
The discovery of the remains comes shortly after his family released a statement saying they were continuing to keep him “in our hearts with bright memories”.
“We are deeply grateful to the search teams and co-ordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian,” a family statement, issued on Wednesday by the sheriff’s department, read.
“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer.”
The sheriff’s department added although Sands had not been found during searches on June 17, the case remained active.
Searches have been hampered by poor conditions in the area and were halted in March due to the risk of avalanches.
Eight searches by ground and air have taken place for Sands since his disappearance, with volunteer searcher hours exceeding 500 hours.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s department previously said its goal was “to bring closure” to Sands’ family.
