Officials say a body was found inside a car fire early Saturday morning in Forsyth County.
Forsyth County Fire Department officials say neighbors reported the car fire along Briar Ridge Way just east of Cumming at around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
"No one knew about the body until the fire was being extinguished and the fire crew was overhauling the vehicle," Forsyth County Fire Division Chief Jason Shivers said. "Upon discovering the deceased, per our standard operations, the fire crew immediately called for a fire investigator."
Shivers said the county's fire marshal's office and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office are both investigating the incident. The unidentified victim's body has been taken to the Forsyth County Coroner's Office for autopsy.
