## Summary

Human remains discovered behind a home in Altadena have prompted a homicide investigation, though authorities have not said how the person died or identified them. The find is near the area burned by the Eaton Fire, but officials have not established any connection to the blaze.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and homicide investigators responded to the 3500 block of Glenrose Avenue on Friday after a resident found skeletal remains. Medical examiners confirmed they were human; investigators found no further remains nearby and plan a more extensive search when weather permits. One person remains unaccounted for from the January 2025 fire, which killed 19 people and burned 14,021 acres, but it is unclear whether these remains are linked.
