One person was found dead after firefighters found a car burning in the woods in Milford on Saturday night.
Fire officials said someone from across the Housatonic River in Stratford called 911 and reported flames coming from the area of Smiths Point.
Emergency crews responded to the area around 10:20 p.m. Saturday and found a car on fire in the woods around 75 feet away from the Connecticut Audubon Society building.
Fire officials said on Monday that they found a person dead outside the vehicle.
Fire and police officials are investigating the cause of both the fire and the person’s death.
Fire officials said there is nothing to make them believe that was a suspicious incident.
Out of respect for the person’s family, they have not released the person’s name.
