LOS ANGELES—The charred, skeletal remains of a human body have been found in an area of the posh seaside town of Malibu left blackened by a massive wildfire in November, and investigators were trying to determine if the victim was slain or died in the flames, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
The bones were discovered late on Monday afternoon and sheriff’s homicide detectives, joined by investigators from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, responded to the scene at first light on Tuesday, Deputy Trina Schrader said.
