Claremont police are investigating after a burned body was found early Tuesday at the scene of a freeway brush fire.
California Highway Patrol officers spotted the fire in bushes off the eastbound 210 Freeway. The body was discovered at about 4 a.m. near Baseline Road.
The fire was quickly put out but authorities discovered a burned body and called Claremont police to investigate.
Authorities aren't saying whether it was a man or woman. It's also unclear what caused the fire and whether the person was dead before it started.
Claremont is about 40 miles east of Los Angeles.
