A man’s burnt body was found Monday evening near a car that had been on fire in the rear of a vacant two-story commercial building in Valley Village.
Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters arrived around 8:49 p.m. at the 12000 block of Riverside Drive, between Coldwater Canyon and Whitsett avenues, following reports of a vehicle fire, according to the department’s Brian Humphrey
As they quickly extinguished the burning sedan without damage to the structure, they discovered the burned remains of a man adjacent to the car, Humphrey said.
The building was not damaged.
The fire remains under investigation.
