Sorg Mentioned in Press Herald Article on Found Remains
Marcella Sorg, a forensic anthropologist for the state and a research professor at the University of Maine, was mentioned in a Portland Press Herald article about the discovery of eight human remains behind the Town Hall in Cornish. Officials and residents hope to identify who the bones belong to and figure out how they were left behind from a cemetery that locals believed had been moved decades ago, according to the article. Sorg, who works at the state medical examiner’s office in Augusta, will examine the bones and pieces of coffins to determine the age and sex of the remains. The process, which could take months, may even help determine how the people died or whether they suffered from any diseases or injuries, the article states.
