Skeletal remains found near power lines in Gorham last May off Longfellow Road have been identified as those of Michael Phillips-Townsend, 45, who lived in Westbrook. He had been reported missing in 2019. At that time, he had been living in Westbrook, off New Portland Road, close to where his remains were found. The cause of death could not be determined by the medical examiner but foul play was not suspected. Phillips-Townsend was from New Hampshire but had Maine ties and lived in Westbrook with a roommate. He left a note for the roommate saying he was walking out of town. The remains were discovered by utility workers and taken to the medical examiner’s office. Medical records from New Hampshire showed he was in deteriorating health.
