The remains of Richard Dyson were found in a property on Broadcarr Road in Holyland, Barnsley on July 14.
Dyson was aged 55 when he was reported missing in November 2019.
His family has been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Two men, aged 72 and 71, who were re-arrested on suspicion of murder last month have been bailed as investigations continue, South Yorkshire Police say.
Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson said: “Our thoughts today are with Richard Dyson’s family on what is an extremely difficult day for everyone who knew and loved him.
“We have supported Richard’s loved ones throughout our investigation into his disappearance, and will continue to do so following this tragic news.
“We’re urging the public and members of the media to please respect their privacy at this time.
“Our investigation into Richard’s death is very much ongoing and I’d urge anyone who has information which could help our investigation to share it with us if you have not done so already.”
The Sun previously reported the discovery of human remains in the search for Richard Dyson last month.
At the time, authorities did not confirm whether the discovery of the body belonged to Dyson.
He was walking along the A6135 Sheffield Road in Hoyland before he strangely disappeared at about 11pm on November 17.
Scenes had been put in place on Dike Hill, Sheffield Road and Hoyland Common.
South Yorkshire Police said at the time that there would be an ongoing presence at the property for the next two weeks or so.
