Victoria police are asking for the public’s help to identify a woman found dead after crews extinguished a structure fire last month.
Crews were called to the fire in the 1100-block of View Street on Nov. 11. Investigators don’t believe the fire or the woman’s death are suspicious.
In a Tuesday media release, police said they believe the woman may have been homeless, and that a Walmart shopping cart with her belongings was found at the scene.
An autopsy revealed the woman had a history of ankle surgery, including a plate and pins in her left ankle. She also had gold crowns in her lower right and left jaw.
