VICTORIA — Police say human remains have been found in the aftermath of a major fire at the former Travellers Inn building in Victoria last month.
The Victoria Police Department says officers were working with the provincial coroners service to identify the remains.
Police say they cannot confirm whether the remains belong to a person who was unaccounted for at the time of the blaze.
While work at the scene is complete following a detailed examination that lasted about a week, police say the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
