"Yeah, I think we're done here for now," Degrin says. He slaps one of the firefighters on the shoulder as he leaves. "Hey, give us a shout if you find anything else."
"Will do."
Degrin and his partner make their way back to the lobby. A Dwarven policeman officer is standing guard over the corpse. He nods as the pair approach. "Finally gonna inspect the body, eh? I figured this'd be step one."
"Yeah, well..." Degrin tries to think of a witty retort. "Shut up."
"Smooooooth," Ella teases.
"You hush, too. We've got work to do." Degrin crouches down and inspects the body. Looks like a gnome based on the size, maybe a halfling. Too burnt to be completely sure without a full examination, as expected. No chance of identifying the guy - definitely a guy, at least - from someone recognizing the face. Jeez. There is a spot where he's more burnt. Like something spewed fire at his chest. Could've been a cooking accident, maybe... if his oven worked. So it wasn't that.
The cause of death in fires is almost always smoke inhalation. A little bit less often for the short races like this guy. Somehow, Degrin expects it wasn't smoke inhalation that killed this guy. Probably went into shock after whatever it was that burned a hole in his chest hit him. Well, Degrin can save that for the post-mortem.
The guy's wearing a badly scorched coat. Looks like his wallet was already found. He's got a cell phone, too. But it's kind of... burnt.
