Human leg found on Ayrshire beach linked to body in Northern Ireland
Police Scotland began investigating after the limb was discovered on Prestwick beach on 10 June.
The force has now said it's been "identified as those of a missing person from outside of Scotland".
Officers in Northern Ireland also said they had identified the remains of a man found in Millisle, County Down.
However, they do not currently believe the deceased man is from Northern Ireland - and the death is not being treated as suspicious.
"The Police Service of Northern Ireland can confirm that the body found in the Donaghadee Road area of Millisle on Wednesday May 21 has been identified," a statement said.
"The remains were determined to be male and police are engaging with the family of the deceased."

2 dead after third fatal A96 collision in under two weeks
The women, aged 48 and 56, were travelling in a Vauxhall Mokka when it was involved in a crash with a lorry and a VW Golf on Kinloss Road in Forres at around 15:05 on Monday. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene. A 15-year-old girl, also in the Vauxhall, was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with injuries. The lorry driver and the occupants of the VW Golf were not hurt. This latest incident follows the death of Alison Campbell, 65, from Caithness, who died on July 22 in a collision involving a car and a tipper van near Inverness Airport. READ MORE: Donald Trump to meet John Swinney and open new golf course on final day in Scotland Just days earlier, on July 18, a 50-year-old woman died in hospital after a two-car crash at Newton of Perry, also near Inverness. The day before that incident, an 18-year-old motorcyclist was injured in a separate crash with a car near Auldern. Police Scotland confirmed the A96 was closed for several hours following the most recent incident. Sgt Lesley Morrison of Road Policing in Elgin said to the BBC: "We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this tragic crash or anyone who has dashcam footage of it." The A96, which links [[Inverness]] and Aberdeen, crosses large stretches of rural farmland. It consists mostly of single carriageway, with occasional dualled sections and crawler lanes. Plans to fully dual the 86-mile (138km) route were shelved last year despite a 2011 commitment. However, following a recent consultation by Transport Scotland, the Scottish Government has said that full dualling between Aberdeen and Inverness remains its "current favoured position".
