Firefighters knocking down a fire Saturday at a small, vacant commercial building in Boyle Heights found a body inside the structure.
“The cause of the fire and person’s death remain categorized as `under active investigation,”’ said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters dispatched at 6:20 a.m. to the small, combination one- and two-story commercial structure in the 2500 block of East Whittier Boulevard had the fire out within 27 minutes, Humphrey said.
The building was the site of a previous burn, he said.
