Johnson County authorities are investigating after a body was found following a call for a vehicle fire.
Emergency personnel were called to 2909 540th Street Southwest – a few miles north of Kalona and Riverside – about 12:40 Friday afternoon. That call was for a vehicle fire. But Det. Sgt. Brad Kunkel with the Sheriff’s Office says after firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found a body inside the vehicle.
Kunkel says they are not publicly identifying the person found inside until they can notify family and they are still investigating both the cause of death and the cause of the fire.
