A body was discovered by Kaua'i firefighters and police today inside a van that burned at the Russian Fort in Waimea.

Waimea firefighters responding to a brushfire alarm at 6 a.m. saw the van fully engulfed in flames, officials said. The body was discovered after the brushfire was extinguished at 7:10 a.m.

An autopsy will be performed to determine cause and manner of death. The body was burned beyond recognition, officials said.

Police do not suspect foul play.
