A body has been found on the back seat of a burnt-out car in Lincolnshire, police have said.
Emergency services were called to reports of a car on fire on Brickyard Lane, in Theddlethorpe, on Thursday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said the body of an adult was discovered in the vehicle after the blaze was extinguished.
The force said it was not clear how the fire started or the circumstances surrounding the individual's death.

"We would ask that people do not speculate but instead contact police with any information they may have."
