Narrative
The decedent was found deceased inside of a Conex style trailer on 2/21/2026, after a structure fire. Sacramento Arson Investigators are handling the investigation. The Conex trailer had signs of conversion, including framing and drywall on the interior, indicating the decedent may have been staying inside. The overnight temperatures were cold, and it was presumed that the decedent may have been trying to stay warm by lighting a fire. The source of the fire was undetermined. There were no accelerants located, no electrical sources found, and no signs of foul play. The decedent had significant thermal burns; she is not viewable and not able to be identified by fingerprints.
