Sutter County authorities are trying to determine the identity of the person whose head and two arms were found on a beach.

Sheriff's Lt. Butah Uppal said the body parts belong to a white male, whom authorities hope to identify through fingerprints.

Uppal said two fishermen reported finding the arms on Beer Can Beach on the Feather River on Saturday evening. Several feet up the hill, authorities found a decomposed head. No more remains have been found in the area.

The state Department of Justice is helping in the investigation.

The body parts were discovered just a half-mile from the place where a leg was found in November. Authorities, however, have determined that the leg, found in a plastic bag, had been amputated while the person was still alive, although they haven't found its owner.
