HAMPTON — Investigators found a body in the rubble of a home destroyed by fire Thursday morning.
State police said human remains were recovered inside the home.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct a post-mortem examination to identify of the victim, and cause and manner of death.
He said when he first arrived on scene, the house was fully involved, and the second floor and roof was collapsed. The state fire marshal has been called to the scene to assist.
Because of the rural location of the fire, tanker trucks had to be brought in, and they also used water from the river at the nearby Goodwin Forest.
Waite said that a neighbor one street over heard popping and banging and woke up and saw the fire and called 911 around 4:30 a.m.
