The Kenai Police Department and state Medical Examiner have identified the person whose body was found in a Kenai car after it caught on fire last week, according to a dispatch report from the Alaska State Troopers.

Daniel Dobson, 37, of Soldotna, was identified as the deceased. The cause of the blaze is still unclear.

On Jan. 7, the Kenai Police and Fire departments responded to a car fire at Beaver Creek in Kenai, where they recovered Dobson’s body from the car.

The investigation is ongoing, the dispatch reported.
