The remains were discovered as police searched for missing newborn Zaani, whose mother Charlotte Bevan was found dead in the gorge beneath the suspension bridge.
The baby was discovered by a walker who noticed hospital slippers and a baby’s blanket over the cliff.
The authorities have yet to confirm if the remains are those of newborn Zaani.
Charlotte’s mother Rachel Fortune released a statement this afternoon following the discovery.
She said: “My beautiful daughter and grand-daughter are now at peace.
“The family would like to thank all the friends of Pascal, Charlotte and Zaani, some of whom we have only met today.
“We would also like to say thank you for all the messages from everyone.
“We wish to thank all the hospital staff at St Michael's and the mental healthcare team, past and present.
“The response and support from the public has been overwhelming and we would like to thank you all.
“We would also like to give our thanks to Avon and Somerset police and the volunteers from Avon Search and Rescue.
“We thank the press for their help and ask that we now be left in peace to grieve.'
