A grim discovery was made on the north side of Milwaukee as firefighters extinguished a car blaze on Monday night. Found within the charred remains of the vehicle was a person, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to official reports released the following day. The Milwaukee Fire Department confirmed the incident occurred around 9:11 p.m. near the 2900 block of North 26th Street, as noted by JSOnline.

Investigations into the death began immediately, though details surrounding the cause of the fire remain scarce. Situated near 26th and Locust, the local authorities are plumbing the depths of this case without offering insights into how the fire may have started or any other aspects pertaining to the inquiry, as FOX 6 Now reported.

The deceased individual's identity, including their age, has yet to be disclosed to the public. The Milwaukee Police Department was at the scene shortly before 9:30 p.m. Efforts by first responders to douse the flames ultimately led to the discovery of the body, which officials have confirmed but have shared no further details, as pointed out by WTMJ.
