Lawrence County Coroner’s Office is Requesting Public Assistance in Identification of Deceased Individual

LAWRENCE COUNTY-The Lawrence County Coroner’s Office, in coordination with the Sheriff’s Office, is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a deceased individual discovered this morning.

At approximately 8:30 AM today, we responded to a call reporting a vehicle fire on Lawrence County Road 55. This road connects County Road 460 and County Road 7, between the communities of Landersville and Youngtown.

Upon arrival, responders found a mid-2000s model Nissan Altima—possibly gray or white— 4 door vehicle, possibly has a chrome door handle.  The vehicle had left the roadway and caught fire. Tragically, a deceased male was found inside the vehicle. Due to the extent of the fire damage, vehicle identification numbers (VINs) are currently unrecoverable.

The remains have been transported to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for further examination and identification.

The Alabama State Troopers are investigating the accident.

If you have any information regarding a missing person who may have been traveling in this area, please contact the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office at 256-974-2500 or dispatch at 256-974-9291.

We appreciate your assistance in this ongoing investigation.
