The charred re­mains of a 72-year-old man were dis­cov­ered late Mon­day night in a bushy area off Daisy Con­nec­tor Road, hours af­ter his daugh­ter re­port­ed him miss­ing.

Knol­ly Trim, a res­i­dent of Loney Road in In­di­an Walk, had spent the morn­ing as he of­ten did—drop­ping his daugh­ter off at work be­fore head­ing to his gar­den. When calls to his phone went unan­swered by late af­ter­noon, his daugh­ter, be­came con­cerned. At 9 p.m., she went to the gar­den, where she found his black Nis­san Navara parked, un­locked and un­at­tend­ed. A fur­ther search led her to a scorched patch of land, where she made the grim dis­cov­ery: her fa­ther’s par­tial­ly burned body.

Au­thor­i­ties were called to the scene, where they found Trim ly­ing on the ground, dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and rub­ber boots. His body bore burns to the legs, seem­ing­ly caused by a re­cent brush fire in the area.

Trim, who had a his­to­ry of di­a­betes, asth­ma, and oc­ca­sion­al black­outs, was pro­nounced dead at the scene. His body was lat­er trans­port­ed to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal mor­tu­ary, where an au­top­sy will be per­formed to de­ter­mine the ex­act cause of death.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
