Regina police are trying to identify a person who was found dead in a house fire last week.
Firefighters responded to a large fire at a home in the 1500 block of McTavish Street early on Oct. 11. Police were called to assist at around 3:35 a.m.
Fire crews found the body of a person inside the house. Police said the house was searched as well as they could be during the fire, given the extreme heat and instability of the structure.
Regina police, Regina Fire and Protective Service and the Office of the Chief Coroner are working to identify the identity of the deceased person. At this time, police said they cannot confirm the gender.
An autopsy has been ordered and police said the house is a potential crime scene.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Regina police at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
