A human bone found by chance near Cologne occupied the homicide squad for days.
Now the investigators have announced that there is no crime.
On Tuesday, a 30-year-old found a lower leg bone in Berzdorf, a district of Wesseling.
The bone was at the edge of a path.
Since an act of violence could not be ruled out, a homicide squad was set up.
According to the investigation, it is an amputation.
A hospital handed over the lower leg to a specialist company that was supposed to take the bone to a disposal facility near the site.
It is unclear how the lower leg got to the site and who is responsible for it.
In any case, the investigators ruled out a violent crime.
