Bone Fragments Found In Woolsey Fire Burn Area
It's unclear if the discovery in Malibu means a fourth person was killed in the fire.

MALIBU, CA – Bone fragments were disocvered in the Woolsey Fire burn area in Malibu, the Los Angeles County coroner's office announced Tuesday.
The fragments were found last Thursday in the 4000 block of Latigo Canyon Road and an autopsy is pending, according to the coroner's office.
It's unclear if the discovery means a fourth person was killed in the blaze, however. Law enforcement sources told NBC4 that the remains likely are not related to the fire, and may have been dumped in the area long before the fire started.
