MONTREAL, June 3 (UPI) -- Officials in Montreal said they found no human remains in a swastika-imprinted bar of soap a store-owner alleged was made from Holocaust victims' fat.
The soap and the Montreal man's claim created concern in the city's Jewish community in March when the soap's existence was revealed, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Wednesday.

The shopkeeper, who is Jewish, said he got the soap from a soldier who served in the war.
Montreal police sent the soap to a laboratory for DNA testing, the CBC said. Results indicated the bar contained neither animal nor human remains.
Police said the shop-owner likely won't face fraud charges for misrepresenting the soap.
