BODY FOUND IN BURNED BUILDING

An insurance investigator discovered a body in a burned-out warehouse Wednesday.

Police said the body would be sent to the state medical examiner's office in Norfolk for an autopsy. The identity of the victim is not known.

The warehouse, in the 5700 block of Jefferson Ave., burned on Dec. 18. It had been used as a thrift store. The cause of the fire has been ruled suspicious and is still under investigation. by CNB
