🚨 UPDATE: REMAINS FOUND IN PAINTSVILLE HOME IDENTIFIED AS ANIMAL BONES
Appalachia Insider · November 12, 2026
The Johnson County Coroner has confirmed that remains discovered Wednesday evening inside a Main Street residence in Paintsville belonged to a small animal, not a human.
According to WSAZ, the remains had reportedly been inside the home for several years, although the exact length of time is unknown.
Paintsville Police initially reported possible human skeletal remains after homeowners discovered bones while renovating the property.
The coroner’s findings correct earlier reports suggesting the remains may have belonged to a person.
