After human remains were found in a Canton Township sewer, police have ruled Wednesday the man died by suicide.

Canton police say the remains of a 35-year-old man were found in the township sewer system when a public works crew came across the body.

The crew was doing work in a field near Saltz and Canton Center roads on Monday near the Glens Condominium Complex.
