LOS ANGELES (AP) - There may finally be word about the fate of an 84-year-old man who vanished after fire gutted a Los Angeles home last fall.
The Fire Department says a demolition contractor found what are believed to be human remains at the Mount Washington site and notified authorities Wednesday.
Coroner’s officials have been notified.

The 9,100-square-foot hillside home caught fire on Oct. 20. It took more than 125 firefighters three hours to douse the blaze.
After the fire, roommates were unable to find the 84-year-old man. Some witnesses thought he may have gone back inside to rescue some puppies and a cat.
A painstaking, weeklong search through the debris failed to turn up any sign of him.
