Officials are awaiting word on whose remains were found in a camper that burned overnight this week in northern Minnesota.

The Aitkin County Sheriff’s Office said it was alerted about 8:15 a.m. Monday by a caller about the camper having caught fire about 10 miles north of McGregor at a residence in Shamrock Township.

Law enforcement showed up and found the remains inside, the Sheriff’s Office said. They have since been sent to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office for identification.
