Body found at house fire on Aino Beach Road in City of Kawartha Lakes – May 29, 2018

The coroner’s office was called to the scene of a morning house fire in the City of Kawartha Lakes on Tuesday.

When firefighters arrived to a house on Aino Beach Road they found a body and contacted City of Kawartha Lakes OPP.

OPP say they were called around 5:10 a.m. to investigate the house fire in the hamlet of Valentina near Washburn Island.

Police are not allowing media near the front of one house on the dead-end street.

The coroner’s office left the scene with a body just before 1 p.m. No other details have been provided.

Police have cordoned off a black van along with a mailbox but it’s not clear if it’s part of the house fire investigation. Officers have been spotted canvassing the neighbourhood street about 12 kilometres south of Little Britain.
