Investigators are working with the Medical Examiner’s Office to establish identity. The autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Joe Sangster said the Olds fire department was called to a fire at the home south of Olds around 4 a.m. on Monday.
Sangster said the home was “to the ground” when crews arrived. There were no other buildings or structures at risk.
They are not releasing the address of the home to keep people away from the scene.
