A body was found Tuesday morning inside a burning Class-C, E450 Ford motorhome parked in the driveway of a Normandy Park house.
Normandy Park Interim Chief of Police Chris L. Gaddis told the Highline Times, "At a little after 7:00 o'clock this morning our officer and King County Fire were dispatched to the 1900 block of Southwest 170th Street for a report of a motorhome on fire. Once we were on the scene the fire department put out the fire. There were reports that an elderly female was living in the motorhome as kind of a caretaker (for residents) inside the house. However, we've got no clarification on the sex of the deceased.
"The King County medical examiner is on the scene along with the fire investigator from the Tukwila Fire Department, and it could be quite a while until we know more. The King County fire investigator is on medical leave now so Tukwila Fire Marshall Don Tomaso is doing some reciprocal work for him."
We will update.
