Human remains discovered following house fire

The RCMP say they were called to the home in Barneys River Station shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday.

They say the home on Barneys River Road was fully engulfed in flames when they and several fire departments arrived.

At the time, they were unable to find a 42-year-old man living in the home.

But a police dog and handler later discovered human remains in the charred debris.

The remains have been turned over to the medical examiner to determine the cause of death and a positive identity.
