DeKalb police are investigating after a woman’s body was discovered inside a burning car, authorities said.

Officers found the body late Friday while responding to a call about a vehicle fire in the 4200 block of Riverlake Way, DeKalb police spokesman Sgt. J.D. Spencer said.

“Once the fire was extinguished, a body was located inside the vehicle,” he said.

It isn’t clear who the woman is or how she died, police said, and the DeKalb medical examiner is working to determine a cause and manner of death.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact DeKalb police.
