Phenix Park news, Alabama news.

Human remains were found inside a charred home in Phenix Park, Arizona, roughly a month after a horrific house fire that consumed the trailer home.

Police officers found the decomposing body on June 6 after neighbors complained of a foul odor emanating from the wreckage as demolition and clearing works began at the Highridge Mobile Home Park.

The coroner’s office did not provide the deceased’s identity but it is believed the remains belonged to Daniel Diaz, the homeowner who had not been seen since the blaze broke out on May 9.

    “So out there in those areas, that’s why you don’t see a lot of fire hydrants.”
