Remains that washed ashore Taylor Swift's house identified, police close case
The human remains recovered from American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's residence on May 14 have been identified by the police, bringing an end to the investigation that lasted for more than a month, the New York Post reported.
The South Kingstown Police Department denied the involvement of any foul play, and identified the remains to be of Eric Wein, who was a 31-year-old man, hailing from Massachusetts. He was reported to be missing on April 18.
The police issued a media release on the same, confirming the details.
Wein's vehicle was located in South Kingstown on April 10, eight days before he was officially reported missing, said the police.
The police department has extented its condolences to Wein's family.
The remains washed ashore Swift's plush villa in Rhode Island, in the coastal enclave of Watch Hill, part of the town of Westerly, on May 14.
The incident reportedly triggered rumors and suspicion of a series of ongoing serial killings in New England region of the United States of America. Wein's body was found three weeks after an unidentified body was discovered in the Seekonk River in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
The rumour made away among the common masses after 13 bodies were discovered in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts since the March 2025.
Five bodies were found in Massachusetts, five in Connecticut and three in Rhode Island including Wein's.
'As far as I'm concerned, as far as right now, this has nothing to do with any serial killer or any New England murderer,' Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella previously told Fox News Digital.
This incident has caused fear amidst residents but the pop star has not reacted to the incident yet.
Swift was spotted attending the Stanley Cup Finals in Florida alongside Travis Kelce. She is known to spend the majority of her time in her apartment in New York City.
She was also spotted in New York City with pop star and entrepreneur, Selena Gomez, a few weeks ago.

The women, Rory and Sage, shared a short video on Instagram through their handle @roryandsageofficial, which has over 16,000 followers. The clip was shared a week ago.

Along with the video, they wrote, 'Well it looks like we're going to have to find a new past time. If you're a female planning on coming to India, I wouldn't come without a body guard of a man lol.

The Gringo Hunters OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Harold Torres and Mayra Hermosillo's crime drama
The Gringo Hunters OTT Release Date: In a time when crime thrillers are flooding streaming platforms, this Mexican thriller offers something you haven't seen before. It flips the usual narrative, puts Mexico front and centre, and tells the story of a real elite police unit that does one job: track down American fugitives hiding across the border and send them back home to face justice. The Gringo Hunters is all set to premiere on Netflix on July 9, 2025. What is The Gringo Hunters all about? At the heart of the show is a fascinating, little-known reality. Based on journalist Kevin Sieff's eye-opening article for The Washington Post, the show follows Mexico's International Liaison Unit, often referred to as the 'Gringo Hunters.' These are officers whose job is to locate U.S. nationals who cross into Mexico to escape criminal charges back home. For years, these fugitives believed they could vanish into Tijuana or Mexico City, but this police unit has been proving them wrong, one arrest at a time. The Gringo Hunters' cast and crew The Gringo Hunters is led by Harold Torres, known for his intense performances in ZeroZeroZero. He's joined by Mayra Hermosillo from Thursday's Widows, who plays Gloria. Alongside them, you'll see Manuel Masalva (Narcos: Mexico), José María Yazpik, and a wide mix of actors from both sides of the border, including Sebastian Roché, Eric Nelsen, Jessica Lindsey, and Tyler Young. Behind the scenes, the show is in solid hands. The series is co-directed by a talented bunch - Alonso Alvarez, Natalia Beristain, Adrian Grunberg, and Jimena Montemayor. The writing is led by Jorge Dorantes, with executive producers like Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Tony Hernandez attached. The production is backed by Woo Films, Redrum, and Imagine Entertainment, with Netflix and The Washington Post both in on the collaboration.
