Deceased in Area Fire Still Unknown

Police have still not released or said much more about a body found in a Melbourne area house fire that happened last Friday. The house on Longwoods Rd still remains surrounded with OPP and other units but no more information has surfaced.

The fire started Friday night just before 9pm and took 3 area fire departments to fight it. In the end, the house was destroyed. Police then confirmed that they did find remains of one person inside of the home and said it was not the body of a child and that was it.

Area residents are waiting the release of the victim's identity. Sources say the house had been rented out in the past.
