The grim find was made after emergency services were called to Old Park Road on the Darlaston and Wednesbury border.

Police are now investigating the circumstances of the blaze and death of the person, who has not been identified at this stage.

Neighbours heard loud popping noises from the rear of the semi-detached house at around 5pm yesterday.

A fire could then be seen coming from what appeared to be an outhouse.

A section of Old Park Road covering nearby houses was cordoned off by police.

Forensic examiners were due to visit the scene this morning to assess the circumstances behind the fire and the identity of the body.
