Title: Dead body in a burned up car at work - This is a little unsettling
Post by: Stand_watie on July 17, 2006, 09:20:00 PM
One of my co-workers spotted a burning car just outside the company gate (within stones throw of my workstation) and called the fire department. The lead operator went out for a look and saw there is a body in it. The fire department had already gotten there when the rest of us got out there, but I didn't see any water on the ground so I'm guessing it went out on it's own before they arrived. Police just got here 15 or 20 minutes ago. I'll post a news link whenever they put something on the web.

It was just on the TeeVee news.

Will need dental records to identify the body and they say there is some evidence but no specifics.

The concrete plant is directly adjacent to us. Lamar and Lenway, about two miles south of downtown. Haven't found a link yet.

Authorities Unable To Determine Burn Victim's Race, Sex, Age  
3300 block of National Street, South Dallas

A car fire led to the discovery of a body in south Dallas Tuesday morning, authorities told FOX 4's Casey Stegall.
Dallas Fire Rescue authorities said they found the body after arriving on the scene of a reported car fire in the 3300 block of National Street in south Dallas shortly after midnight.  The car was discovered in a remote area parked on a dirt road that runs along the west of the railroad tracks between Lenway and the Cedar Crest viaduct.

Workers at a nearby plant called 911 after seeing the flames coming from the area.

The body was found in the front passenger seat.

Authorities said because the body was badly burned, they have not been able to determine the victim's age, sex or race.  

The fire and death remain under investigation by Dallas Fire Rescue arson investigators and officials with the Dallas Police Department's homicide division

Typical South Dallas experience.

Sad, but not a surprise to me.
