OAKLAND — A body was found inside the charred wreckage of a car fire in East Oakland on Friday night, authorities said.
A police investigation is underway, with the death being treated as suspicious. Homicide detectives have been assigned to the case, which is protocol and not an indication that foul play has been determined. “The condition of the fire would not have made a rescue possible,” Hunt said. “The entire car was consumed by flames.”
