Body found in debris from fire in Chicago's north suburbs
HAWTHORN WOODS, Ill. (CBS) -- Investigators late Monday were working to identify a person found dead inside a burned-out home in north suburban Hawthorn Woods.
The house on Rosewood Drive caught fire on Saturday afternoon.
Several fire departments had to be called to the scene to get the fire under control.
The Lake Zurich Fire Department said it was back at the scene Sunday night and found a body in the debris.
The body was taken by the Lake County, Illinois Coroner's Office, where investigators were to conduct an autopsy and determine the person's identity.
The Lake County Coroner's Office said Tuesday afternoon that the victim is believed to be a relative who did not live at the home. The body has not yet been identified, pending further examination, including a dental comparison. An autopsy on Tuesday was awaiting results from toxicology tests, including carbon monoxide levels.
