CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police (CMPD) are investigating after human remains were found days after a house fire in southwest Charlotte.
The fire broke out before 6 a.m. on July 27 at a home on Kenley Lane, which is off of Griffith Road near I-77. Police say an insurance adjuster was at the scene on Tuesday, three days later, and found the human remains.
The insurance adjuster called 911 to report the remains just after 10:30 a.m.

Officials also said the house was sold to a company in July and was under renovations, and they had no reason to believe anyone was in the house when it caught fire.
There are several agencies actively investigating the incident, including CMPD Operations Command, homicide detectives, crime scene search, and Charlotte Fire Department’s Fire Investigation Task Force.
At this time, the cause of death has not been determined. The victim's identity is still unknown, but officials say they're in the process of identifying the individual.
