Human remains were discovered by an insurance adjuster on Tuesday at a house where Charlotte firefighters doused a major fire on Saturday, police said.
The adjuster called 911 just after 10:30 a.m. to report finding the remains in the 6100 block of Kenley Lane, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department news release. Kenley Lane is west of Old Pineville Road near Interstate 77 in southwest Charlotte.
Mecklenburg County Medical Examiners Office staff responded to the scene and confirmed the presence of human remains, police said.
Officials are working to identify the body, which had been burned, city public safety spokesman Rob Tufano said.
