The Cleveland Fire Department is investigating why firefighters who extinguished a burning car early Saturday failed to see the body of a man who had been shot to death and left inside.
The victim, who had not been identified Monday, was shot in the neck and died before the fire was set, according to the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s office.
The body was not discovered until about four hours after the fire was doused when police arrived to tow the vehicle. Officials would not say where the body was in the car.
