A person was found dead in a fire on Chicago's West Side early Saturday, according to police.
Around 1:25 a.m., officers responded to a call of a refuse fire in the 5500 block of West Cortez Street in the city's Austin neighborhood, police said.
While on the scene, they discovered human remains and were unable to determine the age and gender, according to police.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office could not immediately confirm the death.
The investigation is ongoing, police said, though they did not believe that the incident was connected to a string of suspicious garage fires that left one man dead and 32 others displaced on Friday.
