Investigations were continuing today after a body - believed to be that of the occupier - was found in a house destroyed in a devastating blaze.
Emergency services were called to Cramer Gutter Lane in Oreton, near Bewdley, shortly after 11.36pm on Monday.
West Mercia Police said a body, believed to be the occupant, was found on Wednesday afternoon.
Detective Sergeant Alex Sullivan of West Mercia Police said: "I can confirm that a body, believed to be the occupant, was located by search teams in the property yesterday afternoon and that next of kin have been notified.
"Formal identification is due to take place and family members are being supported by specially trained officers at this difficult time.
