Remains found in Pell City identified

Authorities say that human remains discovered in Pell City last Friday have been identified as a man who has been missing since April 2012. Thru dental records, the St. Clair County Coroner determined the remains found in a wooded area near the Fox Hollow subdivision on Aug. 2 are those of 21-year-old Forrest Ammel. It is believed that Ammel died from a gunshot wound to the head, but investigators have yet to determine if his death was a homicide or suicide. Pell City police recovered a gun, cell phone and identification card near the skeletal remains. An investigation by police and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation is ongoing.
