The office of the Los Angeles County medical examiner announced it was investigating 10 fire-related deaths as of 9 p.m. Thursday. No information was available on the identity of the deceased or the location of the deaths.
L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said it was going to take time to get an accurate and complete death count. 'We're still working in a very fluid and active environment, meaning that there are still spot fires going on in areas and there's gas leaks.'
'Please also keep in mind, traditional means of identification such as fingerprinting and visual identification may not be available and will add more time for naming these decedents,' stated the medical examiner.
'We are deeply saddened to learn that we have lost a member of the Malibu community during the Palisades fire,' Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart said.
