Update: Human remains found in burning vehicle in Sturgeon County

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP is continuing to investigate after finding human remains in a Sturgeon County vehicle fire. 

Police say they were called to the scene of Range Road 230 and Township Road 554 on Monday (June 26) night to help assist the local fire department with a vehicle fire. 

Once the fire was extinguished, officers reported finding what they believed to be human remains. 

Officers remained on the scene for quite some time on Tuesday, but have since cleared the area. 

The remains will undergo an autopsy in Edmonton on Wednesday morning by the Chief Medical Examiner. 

An update is expected to be provided once more information is available.
