Pacoima : Man’s Body Found in Burning Garage
Firefighters found a man’s body in a smoldering Pacoima garage after the structure caught fire Sunday morning, officials said.
The cause of the man’s death was not determined, officials said, and his name was not released.
Fire officials said they are investigating the cause of the blaze.
The fire in the 11400 block of Magee Avenue was reported shortly before 9:30 a.m., Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said. By the time firefighters arrived minutes later, a bystander was already putting out the blaze with a garden hose, aiming the water though a garage window, Humphrey said.
Firefighters found the man’s body inside the garage.
There was no estimate of the cost of the fire damage, which was restricted to the garage. A one-story house attached to it was not affected.
