The woman’s remains were discovered after a fire was extinguished alongside a professional building in the 1100-block of View Street, at Cook Street, on Nov. 11.

Victoria police are hoping some jewelry and medical records will help to identify a woman who died after her makeshift shelter went up in flames on Nov. 11.

Police determined the death was not suspicious but did not release any information about how the fire started. They believe the woman may have been unhoused at the time of her death. At the time of her death, she was wearing black Columbia boots, size 9.5, with black fur around the top and a purple portion on the heel and sole, police said.
