A third body has been found in the burn area of the Woolsey Fire.

The remains were found in the 32000 block of Lobo Canyon Road in Agoura Hills and remained unidentified as of Wednesday morning, as investigators from the LA County coroner’s office were en route to the scene.

Sheriff’s and coroner’s officials could not confirm if the fatality was a victim of the fire, which burned through parts of eastern Ventura and northern Los Angeles counties on Thursday and Friday of last week. If the victim was found to have died in the fire, that would raise the Woolsey Fire’s death toll to three. 

As of Wednesday, the Woolsey Fire had burned 97,620 and destroyed an estimated 483 structures.
