Investigators believe that the deaths of four people discovered inside a badly burned vehicle in a remote area near Timmins, Ont., were part of a "tragic, violent" event, but believe the incident is "isolated," police said Sunday. Timmins police found the remains on Friday afternoon after a caller reported that a vehicle stopped on a publicly accessible logging road about six kilometres southwest of the city was on fire. Both the remains and the vehicle are currently en route to the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto for examination. Remains of four people were found inside a sedan stopped on a remote, forested logging road about six kilometres southwest of Timmins, Ont. Depatie said the grisly discovery is a "benchmark event" for Timmins police and that all available resources have been deployed to help in the probe.
