The Almeda fire in Oregon that has so far killed two is now under investigation as a potential arson attack after a body was discovered near the start of the blaze.
Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara announced Thursday a criminal investigation has been opened into the cause of the fire saying he believes the circumstances around the fire are ‘suspicious’.
Investigators are looking into the possible connection between the blaze and the death of an unidentified individual, whose body was found near the origin of the fire.
‘We have good reason to believe that there was a human element to it,’ O’Meara said of the Almeda fire Thursday.
‘We’re going to pursue it as a criminal investigation until we have reason to believe that it was otherwise.’
O’Meara did not elaborate on the suspicions of authorities but said police are working alongside the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office on the investigation ‘including the resulting death that occurred nearby along the Greenway.’
Sheriff Nathan Sickler confirmed Wednesday that a body had been discovered around a mile from the origin point of the fire along the Bear Creek Greenway in north Ashland.
